2018 Ibis Ripmo

[nzhumpy]

Oh yeah, I thought there were only external. Nice idea.

No one will dare to make their own flavour of it or it will be Specialized's crack commando lawyers at thirty paces throwing loaded briefcases at the opposing team.

Calling all Spec Lawyers...battlestations.

I don't think Specialized is too worried.
The reviews on Trek frames with them indicate that the doors rattle badly enough to need replacement under warranty.

Shirley something a lick of foam tape won't sort out?

If you bought a new bike would you be happy with fixing it like that? I know I wouldn't

FTFY...oh, hang on.

But seriously, no I wouldn't overly stoked, but I'm as much chance of getting a Trek as I am a Specialized atm ><

They must have picked that up in the testing/prototype stage?

Group buy I’m on for 1

Apparently RRP is $120 . I assume that’s +post. Rowney is expecting some in 3 weeks.

After the initial enthusiasm wore off - I’m not that keen on one anyway - not real excited about the idea of wedging a loosely fitted bag into my frame and filling it with solid objects

I’ve got one of these Blackburn ones with the straps. I put my phone, toolkit and other bits in there. Works well but would rather no straps. It’s nice to have nothing in my pockets or a pack at all on the Ripley.

Not sure if I hate the straps 130 dollar bucks much though.

I was super tempted at first as I usually use a saddle bag with spares in for flats etc but with the dropper would sooner not - so have resigned myself to running a camelbak again for these items anyway and I really need more fluids anyway and when I ride it will usually be for 2-3hrs anyway not a little sprint

Hey @beeb , your OG Ripmo has some choice upgrades now:

AXS plus Code RSC and other blingy bits...

Very tasty! The blue stem new as well? Matches the paint quite closely by the looks... And a Wolftooth dropper lever as well if I see correctly?

 

[hifiandmtb]

Yeah I bought him the 50mm blue stem to replace the 35mm gold stem than was just a little too short. Risked the blue, I think it works.

And yes to the lever. Good spotting.
