I suppose it'd be a 'flock of Ibi' perhaps? Whatever it is, I now have one 🙂

Just picked me up a Szazbo, in a rather 'fetching' shade of pink... not a great pic, but you'll get the idea 😆

[url= http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5044310041_5875d2d487.jp g" target="_blank">http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5044310041_5875d2d487.jp g"/> [/img][/url][url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/32746168@N08/5044310041/ ]szazbo[/url] by [url= http://www.flickr.com/people/32746168@N08/ ]ten_sim[/url], on Flickr

First job will be to strip it back to raw and sort out a repaint to a more 'authentic' colour, then I'll be setting her up as a singlespeed I think.

What colour do ya'll like? Szazbos came in Warm Beer & Eggplant apparently...

Also hoping to pick up a NOS steel Mojo in 'metallic eggplant', depends on what it bids up to on eBay!

I think I've become an Ibis fanboi... 😳

Collective noun for Ibiseses?

Must be a 'clash'

Here's a Warm Beer Metallic setup as a SS... pretty much what I'm going to do really 🙂

As it's a proper noun it'd be Ibises wouldn't it?

Warm beer is a lovely colour - brighter than that pic. Not sure how you'd replicate it getting it resprayed.

I had a mojo, didn't like it, seemed to miss the point of steel. But you should get yours cos you'll never rIde it anyway 😉

I ride when I can... living in Central London is a pain in the ass though, wish I lived somewhere with decent riding on my doorstep (like just outside Edinburgh for instance 🙂 )

Judging by the shite on display up there I would suggest a "munter" of Ibises.

The green one looks like the army are having a clear out of bridging materials and the pink one looks like they were doing it for charity. 😉

If living in London bothers you that much...MOVE. I suspect that it doesn't. There's nothing wrong with being bike collector. Admitting it to yourself is the first step 😉

Bothers me, but not my wife, and she's the bread winner 😆 one of these days we'll move back to Oz, then I'll make sure we're living somewhere close to the trails! 8)

Oh I know I'm a collector, I love bikes and the more unusual the better tbh 🙂

Boring factual answer; Google would suggest "crowd", "congregation", "wedge" or "stand". Take your pick.

I can't believe your first job isn't to list it on ebay, without a photo...

I like it in a retro sort of a way... Until I saw this thread I thought URT was a type of long life milk.
