Scott — Some fine-grit sandpaper or a razor blade could make quick work of the decals. Though I'd hardly call the eight-point font on the headset which you could only read once you get within a foot of the bike "a billboard." On Wednesday, December 14, 2022 at 12:31:28 PM UTC-5 Jingy wrote: >

Eric, thanks for your take on headset! I was hoping Corwin would post pictures of the headset laid out, not stacked, so one could visualize the respective parts. And one picture I'd like a do-over of is the one that glares out the side of box that lists kit contents. It's esthetically pleasing,

Scott — Nice for the price and would buy again and not think twice. Nice finish, seems to be considered a good design by people who've run them on their bikes. Zero miles on mine so far. On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 7:34:46 PM UTC-5 cjus...@gmail.com wrote: > Lol. Still getting used to t

I think Greg is actually referring to the SS model, which is an early Ibis bike, as opposed to meaning single speed. As someone with a couple of Scorchers, I will only say that the one thing that is more fun than an Ibis Scorcher is a Willits Scorcher with Schwalbe 2.35" Big Ones. Fixed and Pl

Bump! Jacquie and Charlie want everyone to know they still have lots of headsets and chains for anyone that wants or needs one or both. Please contact Jacquie (jacquie "at" batnet.com) if you're interested. Thanks, Corwin On Friday, April 22, 2022 at 9:38:08 PM UTC-7 Corwin wrote: > Hi - >

Greg...is that Ibis the Scorcher? Man...that bike was so cool. If it didn't in some way inspire the Bridgestone X0-1 , I'd be very surprised. They certainly both have that iconoclastic vibe http://www.63xc.com/scorcher/scorcher.htm On Friday, April 29, 2022 at 12:48:56 PM UTC-5 Greg J wrote:

I am also thinking hard about which bike is appropriate for this headset. The closest I have to that era MTB is an Ibis SS, but I'm thinking maybe the '81 Ritchey sport-touring or the Riv Wford All-Rounder? Greg On Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 3:26:17 PM UTC-7 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I'm going t

This was such an obvious purchase. I sat back to be polite and let all the smart money buy them up. When I emailed Jacquie she still had headsets to sell. So I bought a headset and a chain. I'll sit back again to let the smart money buy what remains, but after my politeness runs out, I might
