Comes out at 2,096.14 including shipping to Ireland for me, that’s 1,877.17 sterling.

It’s a fiver more to ship to UK than it is to Ireland, but that’s what you lot voted for, I guess.

How's that paying mate. I went through PayPal and it came out at £1933?

If you've got a Bfe Max why do you fancy a long travel 29er as well?

That was just converting via Google, PayPal exchange rate might be different for you

My input is only to say I had a ripmo af and hated it, bought it feb sold it April.

An all round trail bike it definitely isn’t. It’s a bike for descending. It pedals ok on the uphills but id say most 160mm bikes go uphill better than it.
I’ll add that I’m a big ibis fanboy, I’ve had every mojo dating back to 2009, 2 x ripleys and currently own a Hakka and mojo hd4.

PayPal is expensive. If you have a foreign currency fee-free MasterCard (and many are now) it comes to £1889 on https://www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html.

Did you rule out the sentinel?

It's a looker for sure! Cheapish too @ £1259 but no XL only large

Batman: Just seen and replied to your message.

The seat tube is too. Long on the XL reactor for me.

Got a very good deal on a full bike now so sorted.

Orbea Rallon M20 with Nealy £600 off. Should compliment my BFe hardtail quite well.

Not tried the SC but had a short blast on the Ripmo AF and really liked it. A lot.

I've been considering the Ripmo as well very good reviews all round.
I did test ride a Bird AM9 and hated it, felt like a dead weight rear suspension would hang up all the time didn't enjoy it at all. They are very easy to book a test ride to make your own mind up though

You might want to clean your monitor, they look nothing alike and have completely different suspension systems!
