... so 9 (where of 2 the last 12 months) out of 82 are Yetys - like mine chances are... FAT Chance :roll:

... Chris help me out here...

Is Chris your psychiatrist, to help out with the paranoia attacks? :shock:

Me paranoid .. nop just relax .. just doing the math

(Chris was a man I kindof knew back in the days and he used to make bikes... thik they were called ... fat chance...)

For your consideration, this is my unusual cruiser bike "Fischer" from the year 94th, complete with shimano lx parts.

This is intriguing. I've never seen a bike quite like this. Is it German?
How much travel does that rear shock provide? or is the spring just for show? The seat post shock seems a bit redundant to the shock built into the frame.

I really like the black and chrome. I think you need to lose the orange/mango front skewer and get a "plain" black seat post. The lack of identifying decals on the frame makes it look very clean. I think if you removed the decals from the fork and .... god forbid :shock: :shock: lose the Syncros decals it would look very stealthy.

This bike is very cool. I want to ride it :twisted:

good luck

these are very good ideas! I'll think about it.
yes it is a German bike and it is great fun to drive.

I may have missed one amongst all the words, but I don't see a Saracen - and every competition needs one. So, one of my four - '91 TuffTrax Elite. Cheapest bike I've ever owned - even after all the "accessories". And for me one of the most comfortable. I was seriously considering dropping over a grand and a half on a Spa Ti Tourer, but the extra +1400 quid for a weight saving of just over a POUND didn't seem like a good deal.

So, mock away. I'm too old for vanity and far too old to get tense about a BIKE!

sorry, yesterday I forgot to answer your questions. Of course, the suspension is real and provides 40mm travel.
I've installed this seatpost, because I had no other in this size (25,2mm! :shock: ) ..but double the suspension is not too bad

Cheers

The Ibis looks very tidy.

Good to see some discussion on the merits of professional photographs. Makes a nice addition to the BSO / WDS / eliteism / garage queen / snob / inverse snob / it's all fun / it's all serious debate we have almost every month.
