Have no motivation to go out at the moment and i've got a horrible feeling its because i've made my bike too racey (blizzard + 100mm f100). It beats the shit out of me riding fun stuff. I used to ride a chameleon with a nice fun fork on it and loved it, but got too racey and now am hurting myself. I think i need to go back to a bike with an 130mm fork and a little bit more of a chilled geometry.
What does a Radley Blue Pig weigh in at?
Has anyone got one i can have a look at in Manchester in a size 18 ish?
Lets have some (un) biast opionion
How much are they? Do you have to go through a bikey shop?
Why not just buy a new stem, bar, saddle and just MTFU? 😉
i used to ride a blizzard and whilst it was never set up as racey they are definitely more old school xc arent they? bluepig is 4 1/2- 4 3/4 lbs i think, mmmbop is sub 4lbs though and you would get that alloy playbike thing going again.
I don't know much about the Ragley frames but I thought they were supposed to be porkier than the on ones, which are about 5lbs so I doubt that slowriders figures are right. I could well be wrong, but worth checking out.
If you want info on the Ragleys, I'd start a thread with that in the title - you're bound to get more responses from people with experience of them that way.
Bets of luck finding a more fun bike though! I went from a racey 100mm ti hardtail to an Orange Five and loved it - the ti frame is great but the Orange puts a much bigger grin on my face! Lots of fun!

I think the Blue Pig frames weigh about the same as a 456, and the mmmbop, about the same as an on-one Scandal.
cant find it on the site now but it used ot be there. sure it was 3.4 for the ti, 3.7 for the alloy and 4. something for the steel
get a mm bop, fun fun fun.................
i am gonna build mine back up ...................BRANT...........cos they a fun.
