Whats the goal? Speed or being agile/flight purposes? The Ridley geo looks more comfortable

Better looks the Ridley 😊

I’ve seen WAY more build quality issues with Ridley frames than cinelli. Depends upon what geometry works better for you.

If I wanted a light bike, I’d rather base it on a carbon frame. Besides that, are you sure you want your new bikepacking bike to be limited to gravel tires? Personally, I wouldn’t pick either one of them.
I’ve recently built up a drop bar hardtail for ultra racing as well as bikepacking, and I based it off a Chinese copy of the Scott Scale hardtail frame because it has more tire/mud clearance than I’d ever need, boost spacing and a UDH.
