Stoked to lend my 72 camper to Ibis Bicycles for a photo shoot to show off their new bike. I was a little nervous to hand off the keys as I recently had a fresh motor and tranny installed and the two previous trips ended poorly when the aftermarket stick shift snapped and then, next trip, a valve adjuster swivel foot broke off. No issues on the drive down the coast to Santa Cruz and back, though. My friend tells me she was a bit nervous following the photographer down a pretty gnarly jeep road to get to the spot but she said it handled it like a champ.
