I have an Ibis and love it, but sometimes those guys make curious statements. They are specking the Minion on their HD3 builds with the 741 rims... I remember like 2 years ago they made a statement about their short top tubes saying something to the effect of 'just put a long stem on it, shorter stems only real advantage was for more confident descending and with dropper posts the problem has been solved' hinting towards shorter top tubes making a comeback. Regardless, I love how my Ripley rides!
