Chas Roberts?! Magnificent as usual. Absolutely gorgeous crown, look at the post mount welds. I would love to see more

Also, what straddle block are you using on the cantis? I'm absolutely in hate with the system that Shimano uses

Chas roberts is correct , one of the last ones Chas made before his son took over , the straddle block is iirc an avid unit .. yep agree about the shimano ones I really don’t like them at all,

I know he always shows parts it's like side .... in high school

I believe the "Moron/Big Butts" logo is from the twisted mind of Scot Nicol.

Yes I believe your correct, love the whole lighthearted , thought process that Scott and the Ibis cycles team have , I’m sure I have an original ibis catalog somewhere , when I come across it I’ll post some pics up.

Chas Roberts is correct , it’s one of the last ones built before Chas retired yes the workmanship is superb , I’m going to do a post on the whole bike when I get some spare time

iirc the cantilever hanger is an Avid unit ..

Love those tires

Love those tires

open tubular design 300tpi carcasse they do ride really nice and enable me to truly explore only issues is they wear really quickly, quite expensive to replace and the initial mounting to rim.

You've lost your letters, will you be reapplying? Do you have a source for decals?

The ‘Middleburn’,was engraved into the crank arms , as they were so scratched a lot of material has had to be removed , or lightened , I’m not fussed about having them re engraved and prefer the non ‘logo’d’ look tbh.. decals I’ve used a few companies but H Lloyd have been very accommodating along with Indiprint

@Skippy
What’s going on there? Is that an aluminum cast head bound to composite tube?

@Skippy
What’s going on there? Is that an aluminum cast head bound to composite tube?

sort of yes.. headtube , bottom bracket and other areas have cast alloy parts, the tubes that appear carbon , are in fact the manufactures own alloy tubeset wrapped in carbon Kevlar composite material, the overall frame weight is quite hefty but does give that reassurance of a quality and well made product.

I was going to do a post on this bike at some point but if youd like more pics in the meantime let me know
