Weep al ye 29ers! Bow down to your new master!

 

The Ibis Maximus! a 59er!!!

 

 

BEHOLD MAXIMUS, THE NEW ’59ER’ FROM IBIS.

As companies debate the relative merits of 26″ vs. 29″ vs. 650b wheel sizes, Ibis boldly goes where no company (except maybe John Deere) has gone before, with 59″ wheels.

Maximus is the brainchild and creation of sculptor Nick Taylor of Fort Bragg CA. The main frame is made from steel (is real) pipe, 4″ in diameter with about a 1/4″ wall thickness, heavily manipulated and sculpted and welded and ground and filed by Nick. The forks, bars, stems and links are also custom made.
