FS: Independent Fabrication Factory lightweight 56.5 eff tt

[Ryun]

For sale: My much loved Independent Fabrication Factory lightweight. 52x 56.5 effective top tube. See build sheet for full specs. Corsa red with white panels and script logos. Stainless headtube badge. Edge 2.0 fork painted to match.
Excellent condition. 4 tiny pin holes size rock chips but hardly noticable. Only two showed up in the pics. Not noticable from more than a few inches away. Otherwise looks like new. Fairly tall headtube but the fork is cut close with no room for spacers with a king headset.
A fantastic riding bike with a modern feel but classic look. Unbelievable in person
$1800 shipped includes frame, fork, king sotto voce black headset, and parlee carbon front der clamp
paypal ok if you pay the 3%

Also have a bunch of parts if you need some.

Hey Ryun,

saw that yesterday and would be curious how the frame weight of it compares to our new Speedvagen. Did you check both?

[Too Tall]

The IF is hawt. Love the numbers too. Great great great design, how in the heck can you bear to part ways????

Stop the presses. SpeedVagen is a WW? < ---- haha. xxoo, Josh (you know I tease because it's more humane than poking in the eyes)

bump for a good guy. sweet bike.

[Ryun]

I have actually come to my senses and decided to keep this and the gaulzetti.
I didnt weigh either frame but once built they are very very close to each other in weight. The are both SR11 with similar components. I doubt that there is more than 3 oz difference. They just have such different characters. not better or worse but you get a different vibe on each. A lot of that was the way I asked IF to build it versus the SV; I just dig the small diameter tubes both in appearance and function. The painted fork helps disguise it some more.
Maybe I'll take em both to the shop and toss em on a scale

Thank gawd for the voice of reason inside your head.
I finished the stage this morning and took the FLW's brother out for a quick ride before my 10am conf call.
Love that bike. Glad you decided to keep the FLW!

[maunahaole]

The number on the scale is just a number. It's all top shelf gear, what is most important is that you enjoy it and ride it as it should be ridden.

This is back on the market. Open to reasonable offers

The spec sheet notes 76cm as your saddle height. Is that accurate? Do the photos show this height?

[Ryun]

The seat height in the picture is 755mm. I lowered it a touch when I switched to D2s.

For anyone interested I have a variety of parts I can build it up with or add to it including sr11 or chorus 11. The red 3t stuff really looks good with it.

Such a pretty bike, and my size exactly. The last thing I need is another bike coming home with me, the man cave is packed all ready!

My section of the garage is stuffed also and I have another on the way. Somebody help me clear a hook

[Chris]

Ryun,
Just alternate the way your bikes are hanging and that will give you plenty more room...

[Vlad Luskin]

I see a vacant hook near the window.

[Ryun]

There is a nice black/lime time nxr coming for that hook.

I would also consider trading plus cash for a nice 17-18 MTb

[Auk]

I'll help by taking that minty Vagen off your hands.

I keep hoping my two vagens will mate and have nice cx offspring
