Ibis Cycles has been building innovative, rider-loved bikes out of Northern California since the 1980s. Known for their design focus, craftsmanship, and staying independent in a very corporate industry, Ibis has always done things their own way—and it shows in bikes like this.
The Silk SL was Ibis’s flagship carbon road bike in the 2000s–early 2010s, known for blending climbing ability with long-ride comfort. The carbon layup offers excellent vertical compliance without sacrificing stiffness under power, making it ideal for serious road riding, big miles, or even light racing. Reviews praised its quiet confidence on descents and light, lively feel on climbs.
This one is built with a full Campagnolo Record 11-speed groupset, FSA Team Issue Carbon Pro crank (53/39t), 11–27t cassette, American Classic clincher wheels, Thomson seatpost, and a Deda cockpit. The saddle is a Specialized Phenom
everything’s dialed in. Just clip in and go.
Original MSRP was around $6k back in 2010-12.
I collect and restore vintage bikes, and I enjoy bringing gently used more recent models back to like-new condition. It’s always rewarding to see them back on the road, helping people stay active and reduce car use. I also offer repairs and tune-ups for the bikes I sell - please check out my Instagram - sfbikemarket.
I’m a great resource if your bike was made between 1970–2015, since I have those harder -to-find parts from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 7–10 speed drivetrains, as well as appropriate and matching replacement wheels.
My tiny “one-man-orchestra” operation is on Treasure Island, SF. It’s easy to get here - Bus 25 runs every 20 minutes from the Salesforce Terminal and in 10–15 minutes drops you off a block away from my place. There’s also a $5 ferry from the Embarcadero, a fun option if you want to explore the island or visit Mersea for food and views and don’t mind walking a little.
Oaklanders and Berkelenians might need to add a Bart ride into the city first, but have the luxury of riding their newly acquired bike down the bay bridge back home.
