Damn!!! Had I only talked to posikid before we spent two and a half years conceiving of, designing and now building this bike. We could have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. PLEASE PLEASE tell me where I can go find theese cheap off the shelf bikes to slap decals on... We wasted a lot of money hiring Roxy to design the frame, hiring an engineering and industrial design firm to get it into 3D and produce the solid models, then there were all the prototypes and man, the mold costs just about sunk us! We don't need no stinkin FEA! Roxy, go back to school, your industrial design degree from CCAC is no longer any good. Maybe you can go work in WalMart! We can find this stuff in China, all we need to do is point to them sitting there in some catalog and find someone to make some decals. Bikes like this are a dime a dozen. Or less!
Posikid, please help us out before we make any more mistakes like this one. We need your wisdom. We need you to help us stay the course. We really shouldn't have done anything in Titanium, like the TiMojo, just because it was a fad. Or Road bikes, SHEESH what were we thinking? The Szazbo, not only did we violate the steel hardtails only credo, but we made that sucker out of aluminum. Oh man, then there's the real nail in the coffin, the BowTi. That was a completely new design! What were we thinking there? Coming up with an innovative, never before seen suspension? Spending a lot of time on R & D? Building something no one has ever seen before. Where is the challenge in that?
Please send us your address. We need to start sending you checks now. You are obviously a very smart person who has his/her finger on the pulse.
Shame on us for being open minded and trying something new. We've done it before, and obviously have not learned.

At the Golden Toidy Awards*, Ibis was referred to as "a company with a steel core, but wrapped in carbon fiber."
