I have no beef with Ragley, but one of the points of me getting an mmmBop is that it was a blank canvas for me to add my own graphics. You might hate it, but I love it. Steerer has since been cut down and picking up my new Thomson seatpost later today (the saddle slips in this one which is technically an old road post). Fab ride
(might even get matching wheels one day!)
Nice build 
Where did you get your custom graphics done? Looks pretty pforessional to me. My friend is a Salsa team rider, and she has her own custom graphics, including her name all designed by Salsa and it looks great and was hoping to be able to acheive something similar to that.
I just went to the local signs and graphics shop and explained what I wanted. £10 for 2, but I reckon it would have not cost proportionally a lot more to get more done. They are individual vinyls(?) with a backing that just peels off i.e. you stick it on as if it is one sticker

Thanks for the pics StillTortoise! I think Custom graphics is a good way to complete a custom bike - thinking about it, it is a bit strange to have a custom bike with standard/default graphics. Even if you are given the freedom to put the stickers where you want.
I think getting some custom stickers will be something that I will do, but I just don't know what I would want!
This is the reason I have never got round to getting any tattoos, I just can't make up my sodding mind!

That pic reminds me of the old Jaguar advert, where the kid is looking up at a billboard with the caption "one day, one day.......". 
Like the build BTW - I'm doing mine today!
I'm getting a bit of FOMO about building my ragley 
Need to wait for some more money and for the parts I want to come back in stock!!
Got any pictures of your build, Woody?
Later 
I've got the forks and 'top half' done but can't make my mind up which bike to strip the wheels and drive-train off to complete it.
Think I'm going to use 1 x 8 and wheels off the full-sus as they are fairly burly and should suit the Mmmbop.
Sounds good! I too was thinking of putting a beefy wheelset on the mmmbop.
I have decided most of the components I am going to have, but don't have a clue about the weels yet.
So far I have only got the forks, frame (obviously), headset, spacer and bottom bracket.
At the beginning of Feb when the bars and stem come back in stock, I will get them ordered up and things will start to take shape hopefully!
Damn, I've been out to the garage and there is no simple swap due to 20mm axle 8/9 speed and brake differences. Singlespeed bits and pieces build pics later as I want to get out on it tomorrow.
Thats a bit annoying Woody Looks like you'll need to get a new chainset and set of wheels then?
Luckily, it seems that most of the bits on my full sus will fit on my mmmbop.
Just got some more headset spacers, so just need that stem and handlebars now and I can work out how much of the steerer tube I need to lop off!
whats the full sus you are swapping from?
Maverick ML8 with 20mm Nixons, Hayes mounts & 9 speed cassette. I want to use Z1's which are q/r and IS fitting with a 1 x 8 set-up. Laziness really as I have options on all the parts I need from other bikes but it involves a few swaps rather than just one straightforward like for like + I'm happy with the other bikes the way they are!
