That's a big seattube! Must be for modern seatposts.
A thread on another site says the pic is of a prototype, and the front gusset will be changed, presumably to one more like the original design.

Are those clearance dimples on the chainstays, or is it just a reflection? I don't like them, even though Firemans & GHP (I think) use them.
Maybe the top wishbone is a stronger & cheaper design than the old gusset design? I can imagine they will want to take no chances with strength.

Good idea to go back to a classic design, though isn't it just a limited edition?
If it's as strong as the current design they should make this the one & only Ripper - it has real character once again.

Read about the loop Quad too, sounds great, but I really want to hear about a retro OM. Ultimate wishlist item would be a 26" or 29" PK or Quad, but maybe that's a wish too far.

If they make a mini I might buy my daughter one next year for her birthday. I can't imagine it would be that much more expensive really.
