    Following on from the request for Ragly to build a fat bike, I would like;

    Yeti to build a 140mm forked hard tail.

    Nukeproof to build a 140mm trail bike frame

    On-one to build a 456 full sus. Mostly carbon. Sub £1000 for frame.

    any others?

    Fox Racing should build a carbon 130mm four-bar full suss, with a super-lightweight coil shock, designed around a 150mm super-lightweight coil fork.
    Full build should be around 25 lbs.
    And I should get one for free.
    And it would be called the 22, for no other reason than I like that number.

    Orange should make a “Mini DH” 224 variant. 180mm travel, single crown fork, can be pedalled a bit. Something not unlike the Transition TR250 or Morewood Kalula. And in apple green.

    And while they’re at it they could make a Five Carbon, which would sell pretty well I’d imagine.

    Maybe you should talk to Tom at Demon Frameworks. He’s a UK builder turning out exceedingly pretty stuff like this:-

    Though I am aware that this post might cause some people on here to have some sort of psychotic episode, Cotic should make an alu Soul (or BFe should you prefer).

    Ragley to build a single pivot trail bike (pretty please!)

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Carbon 5 🙂

    Sanderson – the life/breath but with better thought out cable routing, swopouts, and a little less ‘steel’ (straighter stays and oversized top tube?) as it’s bordering on too flexy.

    Dear Foes,

    I would like a 120mm travel single pivot around the BB30 bottom bracket, 2:1 shock ratio, 44mm head tube. 142mm syntace rear end, floating brake arm, suitable for 140mm forks.

    Any colour so long as its red.

    Carbon Blur 4X with alloy Maxle’d rear end, ISCG mounts, post mount brake fitting and tapered head tube. Angles etc, keep the same as the old one. Maybe add another 15mm onto the top tube length so I can run a 50mm stem.

    Didn’t Hope say something recently about building a bike for £2000 that would be as good as the bikes everyone else sells for £4000.

    Be nice if they built it.

    And every manufacturer who builds sliding dropout frames should do a Rohloff version.
    It’s only a bit of CNC machining on a flat plate. It wouldn’t be too much trouble for them, but would make the frame more versatile.

    I would be interested in that. Or a Chameleon but with dropper post cable guides and without the EBB. They should probably taper its head tube or something too, but I’m not so bothered about that.

    you do know that is bollocks! please get your facts right!

    one of the original partners (doc) left to do his own thing.
    the other partner (joe) is still there making bikes and bits for his truck!

    joe and family are very good friends of mine…

    Orange build a carbon bike, you’re having a laugh surely – they can’t even make welds look nice.

    I’d like to see angle-sets come as standard on bikes with adjustable rear geo.

    Santa Cruz should do a carbon version of the chameleon, but make it stiffer, and a maxle rear drop out, and tapered head tube, and no ebb.

    Then all the weekend warriors can buy one and complain it hurts their precious backs when they sit down on descents.

    Everyone should build frames with a longer top tube.

    er. We do – the 2MXTB is a 26″ frame (and if it wasn’t we’d still make you one as a custom job).
