Howdy All, You think with all the rain we’ve had in NorCal over the last few months that I’d have time to make an occasional blog entry.
Er, I mean spew entry.
Guess again.
If there were an Olympics for blogging, I’d be back there with the Jamaican bobsled team.
Maybe that old saying that “no news is good news” applies in this case?

The forecast is showing another week of April rain here, so I guess it’s time to go to Sea Otter and test out the Gore-Tex. We’ll be down there, with the Mojo Carbon and Silk Carbon on display. No, you can’t borrow one to race. No you can’t take one out on a mud bog of a test ride, sorry.
Actually, we’d love to let you all take bikes out, but the ones we’ll have there at Soggy Otter will be headed to magazines for testing at the conclusion of the event.
Look us up, shivering in booth 816 I think.

Tiny Update
We’re expecting to start shipping the Silk Carbons very soon. We’ve slipped a bit from our March date, since it appears to already be April. We’re still anticipating shipping the first Mojos toward the end of the month, we’ll keep your dealers updated on the anticipated date of their bikes as soon as we know.

On another note.

Not to mention, when you open that beautiful carbon fiber toilet seat up, it reveals this:

And speaking of T-Mobile and round things with holes in them…

I was looking up some old Ibis information on the web for a customer yesterday and came across this archived Ibis page.
This comes from back in the day when one certain sausage-loving German showed up at the end of the winter donut eating season a bit robust shall we say. We added this fun page to promote one of our road bikes.
The link is here.

Ahhh, the good old days…

For those who don’t know about the wayback machine, it’s a historical web archive, and you can find all sorts of embarrassing things there.
Go to archive.org and start sniffing. They don’t save all the images unfortunately. But the above referenced page is displayed in its full graphic glory.

Ciao for now,
