Good advice. Found a few similar category bikes to sit on, no opportunities to actually demo around here , but after this and comparing to my old ride, decided to go Ripley AF XL with a shorter stem than the stock 60mm, thinking 35 or 40mm. Advice above was good, can really make either size work . Thanks for all the knowledge !

Duffman bit of a trip from you, but Leed’s Cyclery is a big Ibis dealer and may have some in stock. Small shop and friend of a friend owns it. Good luck and enjoy, can’t go too wrong w either size as they both have pro/cons

Damn, wish I saw this before. No inventory in my size / build preference at any of the nearby shops (I went SLX build mainly for the blingy bike yoke dropper ), so ended up ordering from N+1 in Kentucky. Great customer service so far by the way.

Congrats on upcoming new bike build. Have fun with the new ride, that skills area down off Lincoln Drive (?) was pretty fun last time I rode there. Cresheim area is my favorite of the Wiss though.

If you or justo8484 are ever out my way LMK.

Lots of improvements kinda sorta in the works for the Lincoln Drive skills area, with some much more technical features being unofficially worked in lately. Reminds me I need to get back out there with a shovel and do my part; it's been too long!

Man, this has me jonesing for the past. I used to live on mt pleasant ave and would rip Wiss laps down Cresheim from the house. Last time I was in PA I noticed a major reroute of the Kitchens section, but I bet there have been many changes in 7 years.

Night jawns in the winter were my favorite!

Wiss is such an incredibly fun area, especially for being located in a major urban city limit.
