Looks fantastic. Longer wheelbase and chainstays than I would have guessed. Also slightly heavier but that probably shouldn't have been too much of a surprise.
Should be a bike that suit the majority of Aussie trail terrain

That’s nearly carbon frame pricing! The Ripmo AF frame starts at $3300.
Yup, by the time you add fork, wheels, drivetrain it's $6k+
I paid $6k for my Altitude, and while I understand the Jibb is more 'boutique', it's getting a bit ridiculous

Yep, I wanted this to be my next frame in a year or so but it's not going to happen at that price. May as well just buy a complete Ripley AF (assuming similar pricing to the Ripmo) as a second bike instead.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Yeah the Prime is sick and is definitely the other answer to the question. Just doesn't quite have me looking for trees to crash my current bike into in the way the Jibb would have if it was $1k cheaper.
If my spitty didn’t break the trees I hit I’d be on a prime. Especially since they started putting longer headtubes on the larger frames.
One day it’ll break.
