Example Ibis Bikes:

Ibis Bicycles was founded by Scot Nicol, one of the earliest mountain bikers in northern California.

It began in Nicol's garage in 1981, when a friend asked him to build a frame. Nicol sold the company to an investment group in 2000 and it went bankrupt within 20 months.

Ibis returned to the industry at the 2005 Interbike tradeshow. Nicol has since partnered with Hans Heim, formerly of Specialized, Tom Morgan, and Roxy Lo.
