Latest Ripley or Tallboy....Anyone Ridden?
I'll try not to turn this into a "what bike do I want?" thread.
I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new mid travel trail frame and have to narrowed down to the latest Tallboy or Ripley. A local shop has a Ripley that I'm demoing this weekend but Tallboy demos may not arrive before the season ends. I'm leaning towards the Tallboy based on reviews and fun factor but the Ripley appears to be a better climber based on the angles and lighter weight.
I basically want a stout, mid travel bike for long rides, lots of up but won't get thrown around by techy trails. Hoping for input for anyone who has had some saddle time on either.

The new Ripley is the V4. ;)
