haha! i got this and started dribbling this avot too!
late last summer spotted an older guy riding one as we came out of the woods, two of us looked at each other and said 'Thats an Ibis' almost in disbeleif! stunning looking bikes!
never in my wildest dreams can i afford one though!
Damn thats a complete steal of a price, very reasonable in comparison to any of your intense, cruz etc. framesets. They are awesome frames, Ibis customer service is fantastic - please dont go buying too many i enjoy having something a bit unique!
just paid full wack for the Tranny myself. Ah well, the FS project is for next year anyway
Everything in moderation ... except beer
Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer
If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
... or being punched by it, depending on the day

Had fun in Thailand then?
Nah, i'd really like the Tranny frame. I always forget about its existance and then when I see it again I want it!
arf.
I can tell you that, just like the original thai trannies (where you can always tell the guys from the gals as the guys are the impossibly good looking ones whereas teh girls are merely beautiful), the Ibis version is just too good looking to be a bike frame.
Sadly I have a bugerred knee atm so all I can do is look at it for the time being

Had a couple of rides on them at Demo Days this year and it eventually grew on me, after a very disappointing start. Still not totally convinced though; loads of pedal/ground clunking and very short reach. Really thought it was going to be 'the one'.
Maybe if I had one for a couple of weeks...
