very nice... looks tough as nails

Need to shorten your rear brake hose a bit though!

It does look awesome well done. I would have prefered a proper 1.5" steerer though. The reduced headset always looks puney inside those big Ragley headtubes. Oh and if it was mine I would have stripped the paint off the frame for a more bare industrial look.

Looks great but you need to shorten and reroute the back hose

Very nice, but your seat post is back to front.

I was thinking that too (since the graphics are pointing the wrong way).

However, it says "front" on the seatclamp, which I faced forwards.

Does that mean that someone screwed the clamp on wrong back to front and I need to swap it over?

That would be my guess.
I'm trying very hard not to buy a blue pig at the mo, and all the Ragleys showing up here aren't helping.

+1. Dam you people. Only thing that stops it for being perfect for me is the bmx grips, the saddle (too many colours) and the fact that it probably isn't that fast, not having pedals and all.

That's the nicest looking blue bike I've seen.

RealMan, I think you will find the saddle matches the floor perfectly

Trout, converting Pro2s is a doddle. Had to do some Crank Brothers Cobalts (to 15QR) the other day and in the process of trying to mallet bearings out and pop new axles through - really appreciated how easy the Pro2s were!

Here are pics of mine. A few second hand bargain parts and a few new parts too. Final part was the white stem cap that was out of stock for ages. Conditions for building the bike were that I'm not allowed to ride it until the 5th of August which is our wedding day and I'll be riding it to church!

Looks great - love the colour! Headtube is a bit chunky for me though.

I thought I had built the nicest mmmBOP around, was so proud of my purchasing, pimping and bodgy putting together.......but you've just destroyed it. I now have the second best mmmBOP around. You've created something very beautiful!!! I might want a blue and white one to go with my green and white one now!
