If you care about having a warranty, I would not trade. Ibis only honors the warranty to the original owner.    Both the ripley and the Ripmo are great bikes for Austin and you won’t be under or over whelmed with either one no matter where you ride.    I’m of the mind that mountain biking is 80% rider skill and 20% bike capability. Switching to a shorter travel bike isn’t going to make walnut or brushy more exciting. Your skill level increasing will make it more exciting.    keep ripping the Ripmo my man. It’s an amazing bike. 

I ride a hard tail.  Everywhere.  I have a few friends who ride Singlespeeds, everywhere.   Ride what you choose.  Underwhelming, overwhelming, is a state of mind. Later, CJB

I’m on a Ripmo V2. I got it because I was looking for a versatile ride that I could take to Spider Mountain two or three times a month. I’ve been riding mostly at BCGB lately because it seems to make the most use of my suspension. I got an offer to trade for a Ripley that I’m considering because it might make riding at Walnut and Brushy a little more exciting, and I could get some variety. But I’m worried it’ll make BCGB overwhelming.    Can any Ripley or short travel owners chime in?  

Rule #1 Always ask more than you want.

I doubt it sold for that price.
