I am really happy with it. Just a few issues:

Rear end is quite on the flexy side.
80° seat angle are a bit too much.
Long reach means that you need alot of stack.
Could use a 160mm fork
Loud

What i really like:

Peadals extremely efficient
Tons of traction in any situation
Seems like roots and such dont slow the bike down as much as i thought they would on my NP mega

great to here! looks amazing

my frame ive been working on for awhile is same suspension layout but uses a pinion. dont have quite as steep seat angle. i stuck with 76. ive also been worried about rear end flex. i have 1" od tube i was gonna use but decided im gonna do a billet rear end and machine the chain and seat stays out of solid alu.

Bit bummed. 150mm OneUp sunk as far as it can go into to a Medium Ripley LS, which is plenty low..

BUT I totally could have bought a large, had a flush mounted post, and a roomier cockpit.

I already wrapped it and mounted a headset- I’d be pretty shocked if Backcountry would do a swap.

Plus, I’m only 5’ 7” which means the medium is probably just fine anyway.

Might be camera angle wizardry - but it looks to me like it'd be pretty close to tire buzzing when it's down already.

I don’t believe so, but I’d be curious to see.

DW, so the tire does move back a hair as it moves through its travel.

Nope I'm dreaming - I don't know why I thought that was a possibility, obv Ibis would have checked that.
