Loving that Ibis, seriously sexy 😀
Not quite finished in these pics as a few of the parts are from my other bike. And its not quite a new bike as the frame and the brakes that are on it now are new but the rest is parts box and second hand.

Got this a few weeks ago and love it. Keeping the Lynskey and Campag grime free 🙂 Best £200 i've spent in ages.

About a month old now but..

Not really getting on with it though, just not having the same fun on the road as I was having on my Allez. I was more excited to get this back up and running:

It's taken a few months to finish, as I went a bit nuts trying to save weight without compromising strength. Got there in the end, though - it snuck in at under 27lbs 🙂

Tom that DMR does look great, really purposeful. The chain is too loose tho.

It now has Saint brakes and a Nukeproof saddle too
new to me anyway.

Very well...

Now has a stem that doesn't feel resemble a house brick 🙂

That was prior to fitting the chain tensioner 🙂 Doesn't have a front brake at the minute either and I'm borrowing the front wheel from my other bike when I fancy riding this one. Going to eventually get new wheels and maybe respray it as the paint is getting tatty and rust spots are getting bigger.
Latest bike, 2011 Cube Sting Pro (with a few upgrades!)

Soon as I can be bothered to build the front wheel it will come to life.

It's new to me and just as shiny. All upgrades are now complete so time to start another project!
Go on then. Bad photo at Planet X when I collected it

Dirty Harry by the way.
Dirty Harry by the way.
That does look nice Tom.. 8)
New to me... This should be ready for the 1st ride tomorrow.

Captain - is that a large or medium Dirty Harry? How tall are you & how do you like it?
My 'new' bike is very muddy, but will get a pic up later.
[b]@KiwiJon[/b] - can you post some more hi-def pics please? Preferably some of it looking over its shoulder all doe eyed, with a finger on it's lips. The filthy tart.
Luvly.
Thanks.
Almost there ... only waiting on the slightly longer stem to arrive, then I can cut the steerer properly and tape the bars, and then that's it (for now anyway).
😉

L Swift, Salsa Enabler forks.
Er...
It's not that kind of bike.
Spoilsport!
Thanks Nick 😉
Dickie - it's a large. 19inch frame. I'm bob-on 6ft, and it fits nicely with a shortish stem on.
Haven't had a huge amount of time on it yet. Saturday was a bit of a write off thanks to sheet ice everywhere, but loving it so far. Light, comfortable, and holds speed nicely. It's my first 29er and first carbon hardtail, so don't have a huge amount to compare it to, but I'm happy so far. Will be doing a lot of miles on it this year. 24 hours of exposure, Cairngorms Loop, Glentress Seven, another 24hr solo and some bivvy adventures.
First new bike for ages, usually bought secondhand and swapped bits around, loving it so far...
[img] 
[/img]
Thanks for that, interested, & I'm 5'11" so thought 19" might be my size too as I'd have 350mm of post out on a 16.5".
some bivvy adventures.
Yup..
Sounds a plan...

Based on that, I'd go 19" Dickie.
Nick, it goes without saying that they'll be involving you!

Ringo - tell me about the singular 😉
Two rides old and i love it, everybody should own one 😀 was a bit apprehensive over whether or not id get on with the drops but i can honestly say its ace

Unfinished yet, just started it tonight. Never had anything other than regular old MTB's so this is a bit weirdy-beardy for me - intended as a commuter/winter bike (bit late for that). Looking forward to trying it.
Absolutely no idea whether I've got my Midge bars all setup correctly, I suspect they really need to be in a short stem. The hoods seem a very long way from the steerer!
Unfortunately due to slipping on the ice Friday and banging my hip and head I didn't get chance to ride the "new" On One but I will this weekend I hope

Not strictly new but has just had a rebuild going from drops to H bars and some fresh rubber, so feels like new

for some reason i couldnt see my first post
That looks fun Ringo. What kind of speeds can you get on road sections? Seen too many CX bikes recently, really making me want one.
