Living in this “limbo” period while I wait for my Black and Green Ibis Ripley to arrive, it was timely to receive a small parcel from Ibis Cycles.

Actually, quite some time before this parcel arrived I had ordered some black and green socks from Ground Effect in New Zealand, thinking they would match my Ripley pretty darned well.

Ground Effect brand socks ready for the Ripley – three rides worth before a wash is needed!

But then, when the Ibis brand socks arrived … well, all I need now is a bike to match!

Perfectly matching black and green and no mistaking the brand
