Ibis Ripmo

5010 v2 or v3? I'll be watching your build :)
V2.

With the V3 I felt I was going to land between sizes, and V2 still has pressed in headset cups, which gives me the option to play with angle headsets down the track. I'll put a PYR thread up once I make a start (hopefully this weekend if the invisiframe kit arrives this week). I loved my Size L 5010 V2 once I got it dialed (it felt like a riding BMX with just a little suspension added), except that I felt like death was imminent any time I pointed it down steep rocky tech, so the same thing in XL should be just as much fun but a little safer too.

V2 would be on my shortlist too. Seems like a good balance between weight and fun. The imminent death feeling can come a bit easier with only semi gnarly down bits. not one bike is a true quiver killer yet.

Will love to see how it progresses.
 
I should check these threads more often but congrats to the buyer of the frame.

Good luck with the 5010 build.
 
Well update the PYR build specs then! :p

Good to hear though. Bikes can have many lives!

He’s over the moon!


Same shock & fork, same hubs but with DT 471 rims.

And Rod went full spend on the drivetrain, SRAM carbon cranks & AXS.

The Ripmo cannot be beat…
 
And here’s the latest of mine…

Ah, it's the blue one! That terrain looks so, so good too. Much jealousy!
