first ride this morning and have to say this is a bloody brilliant bike

i'm 5.11 but with a long back, or short legs according to the wife. got a 16" frame and it fits like a glove. nicely stretched out, slackish head angle so feels very stable downhill, which i thought it would, but it also climbs like crazy.

front end is nice and stiff, thanks to the gusset. loads of mud room, at the back. feels pretty comfy too. with the steeper seat angle feels like i'm sitting [u]in[/u] the bike, right in the middle, very confidence inspiring.

its really flickable and just downright FUN to ride. was making motorbike noises in my head the whole way round, braaap ๐Ÿ™‚

if you're even remotely tempted just buy one. superb

spec is unremarkable but works:

RockShox Revelation 426 forks at 130mm
LX gears
XT 180/160mm discs
Easton Vice 711mm bar
Easton 75mm stem
Ragley Spike seatpost
SDG Bel Air Ti saddle
v12 knock offs
Kenda Nevegals 2.35 and 2.1

and these cable/hose guide thingies are fantastic, makes for a really neat build, and quiet too, no cables slapping around

I have to say that the Piglet looks like a great frame

good to see such a large range of sizes. So many of these frame only deals are in a very limited range of sizes

Tyre clearance is the same as the Blue Pig, which 650B x 2.3's fitted, apparently, so yes.
