Magical mix of traction and efficiency on the climbs

The Ripley AF will make a great partner for a rider who wants to cover a lot of ground, possibly while pedaling hard, and have a hoot on the way back down.

Chipps brings us his thoughts on this Ibis Ripley MK4, built up with all the fanciest of top end components and dragged through UK mud.
