1987 Ibis with nickle plating

[FirstFlight]

We've had this bike for quite awhile and just got around to cleaning it up, switching out a few incorrect parts and taking better pictures. I bet this was a good looking bike when new. The dark blue and nickle plating make a nice combination.

Cool, I had a set of those ritchey grips, but had to trash them since they were falling apart...would love to get another set.

The strong seatpost is the same one I have on one of my Fats; would you happen to know the years they were made like that?

btw, love this bike!

We still sell those Ritchey grips but they do tend to split over time.
