Can the Ibis Ripmo AF REALLY "Do It All"? First Impressions

After spending the last season and half on a Ripley AF I knew that I was in need of a bigger bike for my out-of-town adventures, so, when Ibis put the AF's on sale I jumped on the opportunity to pick up the Ripley's bigger sibling, the Ripmo AF. With 4 or 5 rides in the tank, here are my first thoughts on the frame, the spec and the ride. Hope it can help you decide if this bike is right for you! I'll be back to talk more about this bike in a few upcoming videos so if you're interested in my long term feelings on the bike, don't forget to subscribe to follow along!
