    Now, if only this ice would clear off and my knee recover,I could get out to ride it.

    Funny that Ragley have sort of dropped off the STW radar a bit these days. I had a V1 mmmbop and had great fun on it, even if the finish was a bit rough in places. This looks to be a good step-up in quality, though the proof is obviously in the riding.

    Big thanks to Pedals in Edinburgh btw!

    Very nice indeed (the hoses are a step too far, hoses you want to see less of, not more)

    FFS – I came in here specifically to say “well, it wasn’t the grouting/weeding” or something

    Well I like a coloured cable outer, so that’s rather pleasant. Now if you’re not riding please sort out the drawer alignment (top pic in front of head tube)

    That’s the false door for the dishwasher (slightly ajar)

    Pretty pissy excuse for building a new bike eh? I’m sure some on here have done worse 😉

    The blue grips are offending me, please change them.

    And your brake levers are angled too far down, should be at least at 45 degrees.

    Would you like the £10 eye test voucher I got when I picked my last prescription up?

    Nice. Far too good for you mind but still nice. Perfect for those trails on the other side of the A9.

    funny that Ragley have sort of dropped off the STW radar

    Surely that’s because all the Brant Richards fanbois are too busy spaffing over his latest creations a la Sonder & Mango Bikes?

    Funnily enough, I’m doing a very similar thing with a Ragley Bigwig! Groupset, brakes, tyres, bars, stem and grips… almost a full bike I thought!

    Bank account shows apparently it is not…

    Well it all looks very well, but the chain will never stay on with those who front rings, ( have you read any of the press?) plus that huge added weight to the bike of said rings. Have you considered how you’ll ever get up shill wil out an extended cassette?? So you’ve got a bike thats only good for the flat non bumpy trails….. Best give it to me fella……

    Love it!!

    Been waiting for someone to buy one of the new ragleys. Looks good let us know what it’s like after it’s been for a shake down

    Front brake hose looks too short and poploc remote cable looks too long.

    10/10 though for valve /tyre alignment

    Ditto ^ Full right hand turn on the bars might be an issue from the pics and I applaud the lack of alignment. I’d also swivel the brake levers up a bit.

    Apart from that, nice grouting.
