Hablando de IBIS. El logo de IBIS no le veo nada de especial, todo lo contrario que sus bikes. la verdad se pudieron comer un poco mas la cabesa. Me gusta mucho las manitos las hand hand.
Un IBIS al parecer es un pajaro tipo garza, me imagino que con las formas elipticas y los picos de las ies has querido relacionar con dicho pajaro. ¿Quien pone una foto del escudo de la pipa?
Animal!!!, ese no es el logo de Ibis Cycles Y lávate la boca antes de hablar de esa marca de bicis!!!
Version original del porque del color turquesa de yeti Why the colour Turquoise on Yeti race bikes? In Late '84 early '85 while recovering from my real bad accident at Manzanita Speedway, I was recovering and trying to figure out what to do with my life, and how to start Yeti. I sold my '28 Indian Motorcycle, I bought Bicycle Bob out. I welded up the first three bikes. I asked Linda what color she would like her bike to be (one of the first 3). And there was a really nice guy named Terry Gearheart. That worked at Hendicksons bicycles on State Street in Santa Barbara. Terry used to help me a lot., Teaching me about bicycles, included road cycles and cycle cross. And was pretty knowledgable about Mt. Bikes. We used to smoke a lot of pot down in the basement of Hendricksons and talk about what the future of Mtn. Biking would be. We weren't far off. Linda waited to the last minute and finaly when presses to choose her color she asked Terry who had this beautiful Desert Turquoise Ritchey, if he would be affended if she painted her Yeti desert Turquoise. Terry was very gracious and pointed out that it was a 1971 chrysler auto color, called desert turquoise. Through the years when we switched from wet paint to powder paint, the color changed a little bit. With in a year of establishing the race team and going with the color turquoise my dear friend Terry died of an enlarged heart. It turns out no male in his family had lived beyond there 30s. He was such a happy go lucky freespirited bicycle mechanic. Somebody I still miss to this day. That I made the commitment to always use turquoise in association with the race bikes John Parker Es una historia tan bonita y autentica que creo mejor ponerla en V.O. Yetiman
Esa maquina con la "tija" tipo Softride que tanto me gusta y se percibe tras la Sycip...es un tandem?????????????
Lo mejor de los aportes de Ibismojo es que son fotos "de cosecha propia", no tiene que recurrir a Google para ilustrarnos.....
Buenas, además es una bici de carretera e IbisMojo creo que no tiene flacas en su colección... (*) :bye (*) ni falta que le hacen, supongo. :mrgreen:
