I promise the Ibis Ripley build is now done. LOL
Ibis Ripley V5 frame with Cane Creek Hellbender headset and bottom bracket. 136mm travel.
Swapped over to SRAM X0 Transmission with Cascade Components cage.
Back to the RaceFace Era mullet wheels (stripped off large decals) with Maxxis trail tires for weight savings.
First time in years without Cushcore. 😬
1st gen Reverb AXS seatpost (170mm) with Sensus quilted leather saddle.
Zirbel AXS shifter setup transferred to OneUp carbon e-Bar for super clean cockpit. Still using the Ibis Lizardskin grips.
Intend Edge fork (150mm travel), Trinity brakes (2.0 silver) and rotors (Massive 2.3 thick).
EXT Vecta shock with Sprindex spring (490 to 560) set at 540 lbs with LOK open.
5DEV titanium cranks (165mm), chainring (32t), stem (40mm) and top cap.
Outlier Pendulum pedals. They are just awesome for trail riding.
Titanium seat collar, bottle cage and hardware.
Pretty sure this is the ultimate Trail-Duro bike.

You gave quite the rundown, except for the part that caught my eye. Interesting stem, what is it?
Edit: yes, you did. Cool stem
Lol my god the V5 is a different bikes. I love it.
Done? With that bottle cage and those grips?
Nice, I just got my ripmo to 32.1 lbs. how’s that fork working out for you ?
Tan wall tires would elevate this bike to 11.Â
>Still using the Ibis Lizardskin grips.
Honestly, the Lizardskins on my V4S were weird looking but they lasted forever. I really should check out their options next time I need a set. I buy Deathgrips a couple times a year I run through them so fast.
This looks like the LL Bean limited edition Ripley
Friggin beaut
