I decided to build a bike from my Ibex Ignition parts I had left over after that frame broke.
One thing missing is a front derailleur, as I was waiting on a 31.8 shim to be able to fit it to the new seat tube.
I had a lot of fun putting this together, and it actually rides and tracks really well.
Amnesty Anniversary gets Stamp of Approval

Dublin: June 29, 2011: An Post is expecting strong national and international demand for a new 55c stamp marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of Amnesty International which will be issued tomorrow (Thursday, June 30th).
Sunny Jacobs spent 17 years on death row in the United States before her conviction was overturned and she was released in 1992. Peter Pringle is one of the last people to be sentenced to death in Ireland. Convicted in 1980, his sentence was commuted by President Hillery to 40 years in prison before his conviction was overturned and he was released in 1995.
The stamp and first day cover were designed by Irish designers, Zinc Design and feature the Amnesty International logo comprising barbed wire, representing oppression, and a burning candle evoking hope. They may be viewed and purchased at www.irishstamps.ie , at the GPO, Dublin, main Post Offices and by phone at (01) 7057400.

Note to editor: Foundation of Amnesty International:
British lawyer, Peter Beneson, was reading a newspaper article while travelling on the London Underground. It told the story of two students in Portugal who had been jailed for raising a toast to freedom. Soon after, he had a letter published in The Observer, London, and other international newspapers, about these 'forgotten prisoners' and this attracted over 1,000 offers of support, enough for the launch of Amnesty International.
