I was very close to buying a Ripmo AF, but the weight weenie in me held back. I noticed you forgot to list the weight @Dave Tolnai, IIRC an XL is something like 35-36lb without pedals. Then I decided to stick with 27.5" tires so I bought a Mojo HD5 which has been perfect. I'm definitely an Ibis fan, it's a great brand with great people. The newest bikes (Ripmo AF, HD5, etc) had their suspension designed and tuned with Motion Instruments technology and it definitely shows in the lively, playful feel.
