Description
We’ve subtracted a lot of weight by making the frame out of carbon fiber. For you purists out there, sorry. For you weight weenies out there, you’re welcome. We used to say “Steel is real”. Now we say...

Price Paid:  $1600.00 at LBS

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
All

Bike Setup:
Campy Centaur, Thompson, Ritchey, Crank brothers, set of tubies etc.

Summary:
Had the old steel one which I loved. Sadly it was stolen. I really like the new carbon model. I was afraid I would break it(it feels really light to me) but so far so good. I have done a few local CX races and it has held up well.

Strengths:
Light, looks good. With a moderate build (campy Centuar, 32 spoke wheels and all aluminum parts it is around 17lbs)

Weaknesses:
Not crazy about down tube cables and the chain stay bb junction can collect mud.

Similar Products Used:
Steel Lugi (RIP)

Price Paid:  $3300.00

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Forest Park

Bike Setup:
Stock Ibis CX pick. Right off the shelf!

Summary:
Just took delivery of a 2009 Hakka. It is a beautiful frame. Love the color and the HandJob. Went with the stock Ibis CX parts pick which is a mix of Ultegra and Ibis stock bits. It all seems well thought out and no real surprises. Haven't had a ton of miles on it yet, but the few I have, have been super satisfying. The thing just wants to go fast.

Strengths:
Weight and handling. This bike is light and quick but has a really nice, neutral feel to it, something of an Ibis signature I'd say.

Weaknesses:
Hmmmm... Cost? But its really not that expensive when you consider what you're getting. Not sure how I feel about the tires yet, but that has everything to do with me, the terrain, pressure etc.

Similar Products Used:
Various steel CX bikes.
