They're looking like Nicolai/Geometron numbers. Very nice.Yeah I'd be on a Large with those numbers. I like it, a lot.

Oh there you are. We were getting worried.Of course they'd be all in for the straight tubes after I buy one...
I watched an interview with the Ibis guy who was pretty insistent that you should stick to your normal size and not consider reach only.They're looking like Nicolai/Geometron numbers. Very nice.
But who will buy the "extra-mediums" then?I watched an interview with the Ibis guy who was pretty insistent that you should stick to your normal size and not consider reach only.
The previous XL Ripmo AF was about the same as the Titan I rode which fitted well. Now the L is slightly bigger than the XL Titan. I really like it.I watched an interview with the Ibis guy who was pretty insistent that you should stick to your normal size and not consider reach only.
Yeah I saw this thing.The new Spot Mayhem 140 looks cool. Carbon frame, Ti leaf, sensible trailbike geo. Looks like a fun thing.

Nobody else bothered by the BB not being the lowest part of the frame? The SB150 did the same but Yeti saw the light with the new models.Noticing that I'd be going down a frame size for a few bikes released this year - anyone else?
Ripmo looks alright but, bet it's a blast to ride.

I'll bust out the old Fox Talas, it'll save me changing forks.So it seems that Ripley and Ripmo are the same front and rear triangles, with just the little linkage bit (and build kit) to differentiate. I guess that partially explains it.
They will be selling the linkage bit aftermarket so you can have two bikes in one (with shock and fork swap) which is neat.
That has my interest.The new Spot Mayhem 140 looks cool. Carbon frame, Ti leaf, sensible trailbike geo. Looks like a fun thing.

Maybe it's the frame storage strengthening that's lead to the extra weight?
Those bags worked really nicely with the old swoopy frame designs, in particular.

I had Kedon at Bike Bag Dude make one for me as soon as I got my Ripmo V1. But then, he'd done me up a bag for my HD3, so had an existing connection with him.Absolutely!

I should have bought mine years ago. No more damn phone in the pocket!
Doubt you could fit a larger phone in the Ripmo 3 in frame storage…
