I really like the new IF Redux. Clicks all of my modern and vintage buttons. My next new bike will be a similar but a single speed, of course.

Real progress has been made on my IF, getting close and hope to have it rolling this weekend.

Pics will be posted, comments welcome.

Spikes (;

Hi spikes how are you doing ? Hows the ti fat going ?
Im filling in the paperwork for a indy fab. And really want it to be painted in the old aquafade colour, that would just be bliss. Its ment to be my last mountainbike ( did i just say that) ti or steel, i have no idea !

Went on a fun and fast 25 mile shakedown on the IF yesterday.

Bike performed amazing. Rides really nice and predicable, had a compliant feel. Compared to my normal ride (a Niner SIR9, steel 29er) it feels much quicker in the handling department but not twitchy in anyway.

As for the looks i'm not super happy with the neon red stem and grey forks, but i'm considering having those repainted sometime in the future.

i like pragmatic bikes with this i don't give a f-word attitude more than a bling bling build which never gets ridden!

I bought it from a guy in NYC who wasn't the original owner so the history is lost. I did confirm The # with IF though, I was surprised myself.

Noooooo!!!

Matt, wish you would've let me buy this one back :(

I was the second owner, and I sold it to Atom, and he sold it to Matt. The frameset was bought from the original owner, who had the bike since 1996; lived in Chicago. This was a great riding frame, much like a Yo, but dare I say better, in that it was just as stable at speed, but not nearly as stiff when in the saddle over longer periods.

Sorry man,

It was kind of an emergency sale.

Mini-update

New levers, Machine Tech Zero flex! One step closer to build nirvana.

Still would like to find a Ti (wide) bar, a Paul's funky monkey cable hanger, and paint on the fork/stem.

It did, but the guy turned out to be a real jerk. It'll sit in his attic as an "investment"
sorry to say.

Damn. I'd love to have it again. I truly believe it was a first year IF, a 95 or 96. Suck it will never see the light of day again...well, at least till it hits ebay :mad:
