I designed both of them if it helps.
They are quite different.
Designed for long travel forks (assume 140 – 160mm)
yes.
massive tyre clearance, etc…..
Ragley has biggest tyre clearance of any ti frame made.
distributed by Hotlines….
Yes
How does the Ragley / Ridgeline compete / compare from the same distributor ?
are they even competing ?
The Lynskey is a more contemporary LT hardtail, whereas the Ragley is more edgy.
i’d have preferred the Ragley to have a 1.125″ to 1.5″ tapered HT + ISCG mounts, really making it THE hardcore hardtail of choice….
I think I probably will do one like that, but didn’t want that for this one.
as it stands. i reckon my Ti456 is more hardcore
trust me. It’s not. The Ragley moves on from the Ti456. It’s an evolution.
with bigger diameter tubes
The Ti456 has a larger diameter TT, but it’s curved. So kind of feels the same.
and a brilliantly low and short HT providing more direct steering input
Longer headtube (10mm) bigger weld area on the Ragley.
A test ride? Or a leap of faith 🙂
aren’t the Ragley and the Ridgeline just the same but different (if you know what i mean) ?
not at all.
are Lynskey competing with themselves ?
Lynskey make for lots of people. More people all the time. People like. Oh, no, well, let’s wait and see eh?
