Ripley owners: if you could own only one additional mountain bike, what would it be? They Ripley covers so much ground for me that it's hard to find too many areas where it is lacking short of really aggro all-mountain/DH stuff. Maybe bikepacking is a gap as well since the front triangle isn't well designed for a framebag.
Personally, I'm thinking that adding either a Lenz Lunchbox or maybe one of the new 6" 650B bikes (Bronson, BikeCo HDR, Pivot Mach 6) might be the perfect complement to the Ripley.
Obviously this depends on your local terrain and riding preferences, but I'm just curious: what gaps do you see in what the Ripley does well and how would you fill them with a second mountain bike?
