Hi Rob,
I did get in touch with Ibis, about finding decals (there are! chuckibis.com
)
I'm glad it's going to get fixed but I just won't be able to keep it - no
room! But I didn't want to see the frame scrapped and parts cannibalized.
Looking for a good home for it, maybe somebody with young ki
So are you going to keep it, Bill? That's a rare and nearly mythical beast! But
I imagine storing 2 tandems would be difficult.
Have you gotten in touch with Ibis? Seems like they're pretty active sending
out newsletters and such. Maybe they'd want to let Ibisians (as they say) know
about your

Hi Bill -
Great news. Bernie is a great guy. Tried to talk my ears off. Showed me a
significant portion of his work via photos.
I would buy your tandem - but I just bought a high-end Hubbuhubbuh a couple
months ago. My wife would try to kill me.
Good luck with your sale. Hope your Ibis finds a
Oh my goodness that is a beauty...
Thanks for sharing the photo, Ray!
Just spoke with his wife Mel again. Bernie is going to take on this repair,
fillet brazing the new seat tube in and powder coating it. They quoted a
reasonable price that makes this project worthwhile. I'm very stoked about
Hi Corwin,
Just spoke with Bernie's wife Mel yesterday. Sent them photos; they're
quoting the repair and paint. Turns out you can still get NOS decals for
these! http://chuckibis.com/decals/
I liked working with Bernie for the stem - he had me go buy a
strong-looking 1 1/8" quill stem and he th
Hi Bill -
Bernie did several things for me about a year or so ago. I also know he did
a custom stem for Grant about six months ago. He walks with a limp and his

He’s excellent Bill.
I know he had a stroke a number of years ago and was building after he
recovered.
I don’t know about a recent stroke.
He would be my first call for that sort of repair.
I wonder if you could slip a short piece of tubing through the bottom bracket

Steve Rex in Sacramento should be able to help if you want to fix that frame.

Thanks for the tip, Bilenky does nice work... But yeah, let's see if maybe
I can find a fixer here in CA.
Worst case, I dismantle it and part it out on Ebay (or rebuild those Hugi

I would in a heartbeat, he was great to work with! Brought him a
