Hello, I've got an Ivory Piglet and love it.
I had to replace my Rockhopper frame as the chain stay developed a nasty crack after being pushed a little too hard round the Beast of Brenin. Having being put off Al as a hardtail material due to it's love for cracking I went for good old fashioned steel.
I'm liking the Piglet's slack angles a lot with bags of stability when descending. I've fitted the Ragley 55mm stem and their 710mm bars. The 17" frame did feel a little compact for me (I'm 6ft) so I popped a layback seat post on and it's just the job. It does take a little more effort getting up the hills though, but it could just be me being out of shape this winter!
Mine has a pretty functional setup with nothing too fancy at all. Deore / XT groupset, Tektro brakes and a Reba fork. To be honest I could lose a bit of weight with lighter wheels, I've got 521's at the moment with Specialized's Captain and Purgatory tires. They are probably the reason I doesn't climb so well but they're bomb proof which helps when taking drops and jumps.... badly!
If you need any more info let me know.
