Any other IF riders out there?

[jenxxs]

actually, sorry, if you search for pink, it then throws you over to some Google search results, and it's in there.

[mimitabby]

give us a link?

Mimi - the IFrider's link is http://ifrider.com/links.htm

And you are right - the make a wonderful bike! For the first time ever I feel like I am a part of the bike and not just trying to hang on. My other bike was always out in front of me & made riding at much speed pretty squirrely. I tried many different WSD bikes and none of them quite fit me either.

Thanks for that link! Nice to look at purty Indy Fab's!!
IF makes sweet rides.
I feel the same way as you about my Seven.
Some day, when I win the lottery or rob a bank, I'll think seriously about my debate re: custom Seven Elium vs. IF XS. Now THAT would be a shoot-out!

[IFjane]

Regina - remind me to take cover when the shootout starts! I didn't wait until I hit the lottery (I keep forgetting to buy those pesky tickets) or robbed a bank....actually, come to think of it, I think the bank robbed me! I'll be paying for the bike for a while but I knew it was worth it from the first 30 seconds on the road.

I wanna watch that shoot out…from a safe distance! Yeah, custom ain't cheap, but you can’t beat the fit.

IFjane, I love Godiva for a bike name - and what a beauty she is! I know you're enjoying the heck out of riding that gorgeous ti machine! And jenxxs, great bike! I haven't yet gotten around to registering on the IF Owners site, just like I haven't gotten around to the TE intro thread either.

Probably you two win the peewee bike stakes, as I ride a 51 cm bike with traditional geometry. My 6-month-old PeeWee is compact geo, however, and painted metallic silver w/black and clear decals. I was going for an understated look, but then decided to pimp him out in r-e-d. With DH's wheelset that I "borrowed" ("but honey, they're a perfect match!") he weighs 17.6 lbs, not bad for good old steel. I can't get over how well he rides and climbs! I’d send a photo but can’t figure out how to shrink it enough to post here, sorry. PeeWee replaces my faithful Blanche, the ’99 white Litespeed Classic I have to sell b/c she no longer fits my less flexible 54-yo bod.

Have y'all checked out the IF forum on http://www.bikefanclub.com/forum/pos...Board/indepfab ?

Godiva it is!

I got the frame number off the bike but I can't see any relation to its size: 670T644. It's SMALL though, I promise! I am going to pull out the specs and see if I can figure out something - or maybe I'll just measure it - duh!

KayTee- you have a LOT of bikes in your stable (just read your intro). I only have the IF now. Sold my trusty Specialized MTB. Not only do our bodies get less flexible as we age (and age beautifully, I might add!), I found I was less and less inclined to leave parts against trees on the side of a mountain.
