Having had a BP for nearly a year and finding the geometry very strange feeling at first, I’ve persevered with it and now love it, to the extent I now wonder why slack head tube angle / steep seat tube angle hasn’t become the norm.

I guess I’m not the Blue Pig target market being fairly non-aggresive / jey / wheels on the ground, but the bike just works so damn well in any remotely technical situations that I’m totally sold on the geometry.

It’s no race bike but for the majority of British woodsy, twisty trails it rocks. The only improvement I’d make is less weight: if I had the cash I’d go for a ti version and no doubt keep it for years.

I bought, and loved, the mmmbop and I’m no DH demon. However, the mmmbop is a bit stiff for all-day riding.

Hence….

Want……….. 🙂

Here’s mine btw…

Industrial….

Ooooooooh. Druidh, is that a medium? Any chance I could get a go on it some time, I tolerate the stiffness of the mmmbop because I like everything else it does, but the ti’s been a constant temptation… Would be nice to see if it makes the change I’m after. Absolutely lovely.

Mmmm – after Northwind get’s a shot – me too? Please?

I love my mmmbop but my ass doesnt (even with a a carbon post!)

I’m heading in the right direction – but I’m not there yet!

Sorry – that’s a Small (16″) same as my mmmbop. No problem if you want a shot on it though. Like you, I just wanted a wee bit more comfort (I blame my age). Just about to buy one of these for it too……

We need to arrange a wee testing session then?

You should charge admission! That’d be great, thanks for that. Maybe if the wednesday rides restart (or are they still going and I’ve just missed them all?)

I got a 16 mmBop. I sense a beer trade for a test ride!

The mmmBop kills my ass after a maybe 4 hours! Othwise it’s a keeper.

Nah – we’ve been merciful to the Pentland tracks. I think there is a plan afoot to start up again on 23rd – with the Hervelos. I’ll see if I can come up with another (daylight) option over the next couple of weeks.

I thought maybe they’d all been hidden behind incomprehensible thread titles
