Ibis getting ready to make their carbon frames in the U.S

So far, just the small ripley, but it looks like they may be planning to do more and more of their production here.

 

That is awesome!
I’m a fan of Ibis, I really hope this works out.

 

That was a good read and video and really opened my eyes as to just how much work goes in to a frame. That mold is no joke. Kudos to Ibis for doing it and I hope they can bring it all back here. I’d buy one.

 

I wonder if the prices will go up on the frames?

 

I work in a CF component manufacturing plant, we do mostly hand layup with some robotic work. Lot of manual labor.

 

Very interesting and encouraging trend. MABA.

It seems like, going forward, domestic CF product will be a real option. Fantastic

 

If Americans weren’t so lazy and fat and entitled it could be affordable enough to manufacture CF bike frames in the USA. Right?

 

Good morning, sunshine! Enjoy that coffee

 

You just explained his shop except the affordable part.

 

Nah, people are just too uppity and want to earn a livable wage. Ungrateful bastards.
