That seat thou! Ouch
Actually, it's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. It's a soft, flexible cloth/rubber composite that's suspended on a carbon frame and rails. I've put them on my last three bikes.

Sounds interesting, can you share the brand/model?
Any downside to the v2 vs. the v1? I doubt it, but haven’t seen much of a comparison between the two.
None for me, the V2 has been everything I expected and hoped for. The one degree difference in the head tube definitely made it steer different from the V1, which at first I wasn't sure about. Now that I have it dialed in and fitting better, I'm super impressed. Really, really like this bike.
So, after a 4 month wait the Ripley frame showed up and I could then build up with parts from he Tallboy which I had sold in October. Medium v4 frame, I'm a stubby 175cm (short legs and arms) and the sizing with a 40cm stems seems good, not as stretched out as my large Megatower but comfortable for some of the Trail riding I plan do do on this (the MTs my shuttle bike).
Sold this just over a year ago (reach was too short and wouldn't fit bigger wheels), but my MojoHD was awesome. Pedaled great and still nice on the bigger hits. Felt indestructible - anyone scared about the fragility of carbon should ride an HD.
My girlfriend found the frame for sale online and I built it for her. Well, I built it for me, but it's her bike. We are similar in size, so I can ride it as well. That shock is in desperate need of a volume spacer.
My 6 year old all-rounder. It has worked great for casual XC racing, Whistler laps, and multi-day back country treks. Well under 29 lbs and only issue has been a rear triangle that had a chunk of branch wedge in and crush a small section. Ibis was super cool about replacing it with the only color left in stock, so it is a real conversation starter.
