Seeing as we seem to have more cycle projects than cars, here’s mine-

Think I’ve had the frame 18 years, and so far it’s progressed to gaining a headset, forks and stem..... It’s an Ibis, hand made in ti by a bunch of cool dudes on the US West coast. They shut up shop a few years later, then the name was sold and the new Ibis started marketing carbon bikes made in the Far East to their spec. I see now they are now back to making them in CA, which is nice.....

My ‘old clunker’ MTB is also a titanium Ibis, complete with ti stem and bars. I’ve kept the spec period although when I first built it up in ‘96 it had previous model RockShox forks. A few years ago I had to have new wheels as the rims were worn though, but managed to get a Mavic set built up pretty close to the original. Needless to say the bike is kept secured at all times when not being ridden!
