    Retro bikes we've spotted

    Very interestingly it had what appeared to be an Ahead stem with remnants of an Ibis logo on top. I was confused - for a late 80's bike?! Mombat says this: The Avion was the imported from Japan for Ibis and was the more "entry level" model. This is a NOS frame with a mostly NOS Shimano Deore...

    Retro bikes we've spotted

    My 'burner' Nokia doesn't do photos - let's do a spot of imagining! Cambridge, UK, this afternoon, a cool 18" I suppose mid-blue MTB with chainstay U-brake. Ibis. Really?! 'Avion' it said on the top tube. A mixture of XT and 6-speed shifters. Rusty chain. Tange pink label. A student...

    Do Konas have matching serials on fork steerer tube and frame?
