[Closed] New Bike (Blue Pig) pics

Looks fun... 😆

dont laugh, but i am gonna build another one of those.

and it is very nice too in orange. 8)

That looks lovely, what kind of tyre clearance does the frame have?

what kind of tyre clearance does the frame have?

Absolutely loads!

What sort of weight built up?

Sorry, no idea on weight - never weigh my bikes, but seems light enough to me. Haven't gone for a lightweight build (it's not really that type of a bike)

Nice, but it's missing some Carnegie's bars.......

love the colour.

JC - it wouldn't be missing Carnegies if they were in stock!

After looking in the classifieds for a while for a steel hardtail/singlespeed and not finding what I want for the money

I may be tempted to get one of these

would like to know how it rides ???

Nice lookin' bike. Like the drop outs

it's not blue

In what way?

well I run 100mm forks as I like fast singletrack and the twitchy feel a race bike gives you
not into big laid back 140mm fork type slow turning

Is it the piccies playing tricks or has Brant produced a bike with a slightly higher front end than the 456?

Nice build, like it.

Whoah now thats a bright bike, looks nice, your definitely not going to loose it in the shed/garage though.

I love orange bikes. It has an older brother too!

I also like fast singletrack 😆
Can quite easily keep up and be faster than mates on fancy full sus bikes 😈

Running mine on 130mm fixed forks with 70mm stem and can assure you it is not slow on turns.
Can be run(as designed)with a 50mm stem which makes it nice and twitchy just the way you like it 😀

Looking good!

What a bloody shame, lovely looking frame, great build. I'm looking for a good steel hardtail frame and that looks really nice. so i went straight to their web site to have a look at the spec, budget says - good news.

Morals say - bad news?

Stupid comments at the bottom of page "WE LOVE BIKES LIKE A FAT KID LOVES CAKE", why is it ok for companies to put this kind of crap on their web sites?

What a ****ing shame, ignorant pish.

I'm sure STW will judge it as a harmless comment, my opinion will stay the same.

thats not blue, its clearly orange

thanks great news looks like I have to spend more money then 😆

Most fat kids I've seen seem quite partial to cake, but I guess there must be some exceptions. You also excercised your right to choose, so that's good.

Like the orange though.

"WE LOVE BIKES LIKE A FAT KID LOVES CAKE", why is it ok for companies to put this kind of crap on their web sites?

Because it tells us that they really love bikes?

You seriously wouldnt buy a bike because of nine words on their webpage? You must have really ****ing adored cake when you were younger then.

Like the colour, looks like a very slack head angle. Not keen on black sorry...... and the head angle looks steeper for some strange reason

Peregrine - you're fat aren't you?

Why get offended? Just stop eating every waking moment and with the money you save you can buy a blue pig.

I think the "delete and continue with your day" upset me more. And I've got a blood pressure check up this morning.

New strapline?: "WE LOVE BIKES LIKE A MOANER LOVES MOANING"

I would wager that the majority of fat kids love cake but, at the same time, recognise that it's a [url= ]dangerous love[/url], possibly tinged with hatred because of the inevitability and inescapability of cake and what it does to them. So it seems like a subtle, almost [url= ]Burtian comment[/url] on [url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7095134.stm ]the double-edged sword of bike love.[/url]

The comment is not that stupid, I'd like you to find a fat kid that doesn't like cake.

Fat people are only fat for one reason...........

New strapline?: "WE LOVE BIKES LIKE A MOANER LOVES MOANING"

I love it. Done.

spent yesterday putting together gregga's pig with him,

fat kids, who cares, have my share, jam it in your trap,

moaners, well we need them , they make us feel happy about ourselves and make us realise that some people always swing toward negativity.

Blue pig, what can i say, shocked at the frame for such a small lump of dosh, looks stunning, well though out, lovely welds, light etc etc..went together like fat kids and cake..sh!t sorry fat kids and moaners,

well done brant, well done ragley, well done everybody merry christmas

I think the "delete and continue with your day" upset me more.

I think it was an instruction for him, not you Brant. It's one of those "write the letter but don't send it" therapy things.

Cakes? Bloody love the things, and I was a fat kid and now a fat bloke. It's funny, and not something to be offended by unless you're offended by Last of the Summer Wine potentially injuring the elderly.

I like any bike company that; can have a bit of a joke, create good products at good prices, and offend a few people in the process. If no-one is offended, you're not doing it right.

I think the "delete and continue with your day" upset me more.

I reckon he meant the email not the comment, but hey ho

From sponsored rider to marketing guru? Promotion, eh?

AHHH it's driving me nuts. I'm sure 'like a fat kid loves cake' is either a lyric from a song or a quote from a film. I can't for the life of me think where it's from though.

a very cute lyric in 50 Cent's song "21 Questions".

Mostly famously recently it was used by Mr 50 Cent in his musical opus '21 Questions."

Brant, being part of the Mad Skillz Crew in Tod, can often be found 'popping', 'locking' and 'windmilling' to such tracks on a bit of old lino just by the pay and display carpark.

[b]Edit:[/b] Damn my slow fingers...

Obviously i do expect the usual crap from the "Fatists" on here its human nature to target others to compensate for you own inadequacies, it may even improve your place in the imaginary STW pecking order with all the other fatists.

What i won't do is stop expressing my opinion and join in with the "pecking order" struggle.

We love bikes like a speccy-four-eyes loves glasses.

A a speccy-four-eyes, I find it dusgusting that it took someone so long to take the piss out of me, I demand that the piss be taken out of me sooner in future or I'll feel left out

Sorry nbt. I'll go straight for the eyes next time.

What a silly thread. I quite like Cheesy's bike anyhow. 😀

So what inadequacies are you compensating for by targeting people who actually have a sense of humour and don't see the end of the world in what is clearly a joke?

the imaginary STW pecking order

Imagined only by you I think, Peregrine…everyone else is too busy having a laugh and enjoying themself 🙂

I like the bike but the Ragley website is a nightmare to use - gave up in the end.

I really do like the look of those. Looking for a "when the lifts are shut" bike for next summer. Brant, fancy sending me one for Alpine Testing? 😀

Steve, I'll lend you mine if I get a free week's in your place. Winter or summer, I don;t mind. 🙂

Stevo - we have a "Alpine guide" package we might be able to sort you out with.
