Yes, you read that right- this size small Ibis Ripley LS (front triangle) V3 size small was made by hand in Ibis’ Santa Cruz, CA, in-house carbon production facility. Ibis never made a ton of these frames, but they are significantly stiffer and lighter than Ibis’ made in Asia counterparts. The finish is a raw clear coat over carbon, which has a matte black look to it. The swingarm is made in Asia. This was my wife’s bike, and she primarily used it for light trail riding. Bike is stock, with the exception of the seatpost. This post was the best solution I could find for the bike back in late 2018. There may be a deeper drop post available now, as my Rainier 2.0 has a ton of adjustment and isn’t too long, but wifey wants to move on to a longer travel bike so I’m not going to change anything on this bike. FYI, the return speed of this particular post has always been fairly slow since day 1, but has never had any problems.

At 5’3”, this was the longest drop post we could find that would fit this frame. However, I believe there are more options today for a longer drop. WTB Deva saddle Ibis 938 alloy wheels Schwalbe 2.6 Hans Dampf front tire (stock tire!) Schwalbe 2.6 Nobby Nic rear tire (stock tire!) We’ve kept the bike well lubed and clean, but haven’t ridden it enough to even need to put on a replacement set of tires. Literally all the wear parts are still stock, and have plenty more life left!

Hi guys, I need to finish paying off some medical bills so I've got my trusty Ripley V4 for sale. I received this frame in July 2019 and couldn't ride it until August due to injury. I only rode this bike about a dozen times, as I ended up on my Ripmo AF most of the time. Frame is in really good shape, but it's been ridden. Some scratches inside the rear triangle, as seen in the photos, and a few scratches on the outside of the swingarm. Rear shock is an aftermarket Fox Factory model that's more progressive and slightly firmer in tune than the stock Ibis shock. I MUCH preferred this shock over the stock Ibis shock. Includes derailleur hanger, seat binder, and brand new Ibis axle. - Jeff
