Ibis has made its return to the bicycling world with the Mojo Carbon frame for moutain bikes, shown here at Interbike Expo in Las Vegas, and the Silk carbon frame for the roadies.
The Ibis name has been out of the picture for a few years. Scot Nicol talks about it at the company's new website. He started the Ibis frame company from what he calls a “funky little workshop” in Mendicino, California, back in 1981. The company grew over the next 20 years. It made road, mountain, tandems and other types of bikes with steel, carbon, titanium and aluminum.
He sold it in 2000, the new owners ran it into bankruptcy within 2 years. Nicol and his new partners resurrected it in time for the Interbike 2005.

With all the tents and awnings set up, this looks like a caravan encampment at a desert oasis. The first two days at the 2005 Interbike Expo featured this outdoor demo site at Hell Canyon before the main focus of the show moved to the Sands convention center in Las Vegas.

You've got Interbike bike expo pictures.
Of course there was a lot more to the Interbike Expo bicycle show in Las Vegas than booth babes (right). I've been surfing around, especially at flickr.com, and found some well-shot bicycle images …

Italy's venerable Bianchi company sent a slew of bicycles over to Interbike this year. This is a singlespeed specialty bike dubbed San Jose designed for cyclo-cross and commuting. Says Bianchi:
“Unlike fixed-gear track bikes, which are the obvious standard for track racing and urban hipster pothole dodging, our single-speeders have a one-speed freewheel, so you can enjoy the pain off-road.”
I enjoyed touring through Bianchi's website, which features information on its Euro bike racing teams as well as its history that dates back to Edoardo Bianchi's first bike-making shop in Milan in 1885.

KHS showed one of its fixed-gear training bikes at Interbike expo. This entry-level priced Flite 100 is designed for track or commuting. The frame is made from Reynolds double-butted cromoly steel. Note the pedals with toe clips and straps.
KHS bikes are made in Taiwan and distributed through KHS Bicycles Inc., based in Rancho Dominguez, Califoria. The company makes much more expensive road and track bikes than the Flite 100, as well as folding bikes, tandems, mountain bikes, and different styles of cruisers.
