Finding myself strangely drawn to a Tranny…

…An Ibis Tranny[/url] that is.

Does anyone have one? Can I get it it Guinness Foam

[/url]

got a nice one i stifED

THEY DO?! Damn….that’s too close for comfort, I may have to move.

What colour was it? No! don’t tell me.

Not sure about the position where the seat stays join the seat tub. And I don’t like the bike plates for dropouts.

Otherwise, very nice.

2.75lbs though! and will fit in the boot of even a Mini

Don’t own one but tempted myself after the joys of the Mojo.

You must have a zillion bikes Daffy?

Hope you are well.

Saw one in a shop in US a while ago
Frames look nicer hanging up than that does up there ^

my imaginary forum sig is:
“…slamming into trannies since 1992”
(followed by a list of all the bikes I’ve got, in really detailled spec – “barbie bell, 2003 pink pegasus special edition with Ti bolts & upgraded pinger” etc)

Hey Thumbie (Matt?)

Just the four bikes, I’m only allowed four plus the missus bike.

Felt a bit lethargic WRT biking recently, but my Mojo’s (not the bike) back and I’m raring to go.

How about you?

Scaredypants – You’re not helping, but keep talking

sorry, just seems to me that hardly anyone will use the “split” feature often enough to make it useful. other than that, it’s just a decent hardtail IMO.

frame seemed v well made though, as yo7u might expect

Me too. My first thought was I hope they do that in Guiness Foam but I think its orange green or plain carbon. It appeals to me as It’s the perfect frame to run with deraileurs, with a hub or singlespeed if you were so inclined.Shame about the dollar exchange rate. As for the split rear end not being used, you’d be using it if you run a hub or singlespeed, even if not actually dismantalling it. And if the exchange rate improves and you happen to be in the States then a frame you can hide in your suitcase could be very useful.

Surely an ideal candidate for an Alfine/Rohloff-esque belt drive conversion?

My initial thoughts captain. I’d have to get the Rohloff converted though as mine is V brake version. I also thought about the belt option but looking at the GIF’s on the Ibis web site the rear triangle is not split, so I don’t think the belt option is viable. A shame really to have missed that opportunity on such a versatile frame. I suppose there could be an alternative rear triangle available in the future that could make the belt option viable. It certainly something that appeals to me as a hub user.

Daffy my friend….snap….4 myself, then the missus plus the kids 🙂

It’s a 50/50 split with a XC HT & FS, then 2 for the Road…..

Hope all is well mate & glad the biking mojo has returned.
