Last year‘s motto was „No new bikes“ this year. And 2007 was almost the same.

So, I am ready now. Almost.

In fact I‘ve been looking around for a while, may be the first time in my humble biking career, knowing exactly what I need: A full-suspension all-mountain-bike with 140mm suspension which bravely tackles climbs and masters tricky, technical downhills.

After strolling through many names such as Gary Fisher‘s beloved Roscoe, Lapierre‘s Zesty and Trek‘s Remedy, I think I finally landed. On the moon, as it appears, Moonstruck at first glance. It seems, the new bike will be made out of carbon. It seems, it is destined to be an Ibis.
