Now, if only this ice would clear off and my knee recover,I could get out to ride it.
I like that very much!
Funny that Ragley have sort of dropped off the STW radar a bit these days. I had a V1 mmmbop and had great fun on it, even if the finish was a bit rough in places. This looks to be a good step-up in quality, though the proof is obviously in the riding.
Big thanks to [url= http://pedalsbikecare.co.uk/ ]Pedals[/url] in Edinburgh btw!
Very nice indeed (the hoses are a step too far, hoses you want to see less of, not more)
Why that looks fun....
I like.
FFS - I came in here specifically to say "well, it wasn't the grouting/weeding" or something
Bah ! 🙁
Click bait 👿
😉
URGH, people who leave used tea bags on a plate/tray thingy! Put em straight in the bin you disgusting animals!!!!
(the bike, it's ok i supose..... 😆 )
Well I like a coloured cable outer, so that's rather pleasant. Now if you're not riding please sort out the drawer alignment (top pic in front of head tube)
you made that out of spare 9 sp groupset, brakes and hubs?
Bravo sir

That's the false door for the dishwasher (slightly ajar)

Pretty pissy excuse for building a new bike eh? I'm sure some on here have done worse 😉
The blue grips are offending me, please change them.
And your brake levers are angled too far down, should be at least at 45 degrees.
Groupset minus pedals, that is.......... 😀
Maxtorque - there aren't any teabgs on there, just a spoon.
Would you like the £10 eye test voucher I got when I picked my last prescription up?
Well it's not titanium but I suppose it's alright
Nice. Far too good for you mind but still nice. Perfect for those trails on the other side of the A9.
Ygm re your classified ad
Nice build btw!
Nice to see a front derailleur for a change, it's just like old times 🙂
funny that Ragley have sort of dropped off the STW radar
Surely that's because all the Brant Richards fanbois are too busy spaffing over his latest creations a la Sonder & Mango Bikes?
Struggling to see the bike, my eyes keep being drawn to the shoddy tea and coffee storage arrangement!!!
Or Pacts? 😉Teetosugars - Member

Looks great, keep the blue grips.

Very good, i see what you did there.....
Very nine indeed Mr C. Looks far too much fun for an auld codger like you though 😉
I like. Including the blue grips. Ignore theotherjonv.
That's marvelous!
Funnily enough, I'm doing a very similar thing with a Ragley Bigwig! Groupset, brakes, tyres, bars, stem and grips... almost a full bike I thought!
Bank account shows apparently it is not...
Wtf is up with that spotless kitchen? You live in B&Q or something?
Kitchen? That's his garage.
Well it all looks very well, but the chain will never stay on with those who front rings, ( have you read any of the press?) plus that huge added weight to the bike of said rings. Have you considered how you'll ever get up shill wil out an extended cassette?? So you've got a bike thats only good for the flat non bumpy trails..... Best give it to me fella......
Love it!!
Been waiting for someone to buy one of the new ragleys. Looks good let us know what it's like after it's been for a shake down
Front brake hose looks too short and poploc remote cable looks too long.
10/10 though for valve /tyre alignment
Ditto ^ Full right hand turn on the bars might be an issue from the pics and I applaud the lack of alignment. I'd also swivel the brake levers up a bit.
Apart from that, nice grouting.
Garage ? That's his shed.
My jaw dropped when I saw...
Shed? That's the kennel!
Nice.
The [i]guest[/i] kennel.
No, that's just a hole in his garden with a tarp over the top.
We've got those tiles in our bathroom. Mounted the other way up though.

You do realise that the forks and handlebar move together when you turn the handlebars? The cable tension won't change as you do it.
nice bike OP...but the brake hoses and gear cables look a bit on the short side to me.
i used to have the same issue, upgrade parts and leave the old parts in a box until there were enough parts to build a new bike, then upgrade the parts on 2 bikes until there is enough parts in the box to build yet another bike, it became a bit of a vicious circle for me and at one point i ended up with 6 bikes!

Thank you! In my defence, it was early! 🙂
