[Closed] ragley piglet

Brant, I take it the Ti piglet is going to retail at a similar price to the Ti pig?

Cheers,
Rusty

With this many frames and sizes available global domination beckons... 😀

14" frames (effective top tube mainly) - especially the Blue Pig & Piglet?

572mm (22.5in) on the Blue Pig
588mm (23.1in) on the Piglet

Designed to enforce short stems 🙂

Any news on the ElectroPig yet Brant?

And prevent the use of the bikes by women!

23inch top tube on a 14inch frame - your having a laugh.

I agree Rik. They'd fit me well, but are immediately off my list for Kate. I'll talk to Kate about Adele's frame.

Sorry I might of missed it but I guess the Ti pig and Mmmbop will also come in the 17" size?

Ti Pig will.

Mmmbop is discontinued.

Lets try this again- any idea of a frame weight for the Blue Pig X as yet? Watching this one with interest...

oh and helooooooooo 'Brant' : im still intrigued 'bout the name 'Troof', c,mon- spill the beans where did you pick that name out of?

I reckon it's the Grange Hill way of saying 'truth' ❓

any idea of a frame weight for the Blue Pig X as yet?

Saves about .3lb over the regular FatHeadTubing. So around 5.3lb with the same dropouts.

The Swopouts do add some weight, so that's why we're doing a "regular dropout" version.

Brant, will the Ti Piglet be available with vertical dropouts, not sliders?

It's a thought. Saves about 1/3rd of a pound too. We'll see what Lynskey say about splitting production.

DJ / 4X version next please.

Cool, cheers brant.

Can we have more info about the geom...? Is it somethign stupid like the on-one? Or are they more mainstream/can like?
IE if I ride a 16" will I need a 16"?
cheers

DJ / 4X version next please.

Seen the Nukeproof SNAP?

Is it somethign stupid like the on-one?

What particular aspect of the on-one do you find stupid? We've already ascertained the 14in frame has a 23.1in top tube - I wonder if that's what you mean by [i]stupid[/i]?

Whoops - someone made a boo boo.

Don't you guys know you NEVER critise a design.
it's like calling your mates wife ugly, or his kids thick. Everyone knows it - you don't HAVE to say it out loud. You'll just piss them off!

& fwiw what IS stupid about the design?
the job of the bike frame is to keep the wheels,saddle and stem apart. as long as it does that, I'm happy.

Will still be too big for Ed 😆

Glad you've postponed an "alu" piglet version. Would be unprofitably mainstream.

The Ti piglet looks ACE! I really wish it's not that good to make me have second thoughts about my ti Pig! Could you add some vertical curve to the seatstays? While it might not be more resilient, it would look like it and thus appeal to more confort-seekers (who i suppose make up the 120-130mm travel Ti HT buyer party).

I also think that an OX piglet would make even better sense and you might get away with building the standard tubing one at all!!!!!
Any changes to the Ti Pig by the way (apart from the dropouts)? Can i sent my frame back 2b "Ragley" engraved????Can i?

The Ti frame looks fantastic. Though maybe I'm being awkward but given the option I'd prefer a non slider vertical drop out version aswell.

That piglet does look great! Any chance of a 26" xc race bike, or do I need to take the leap to 29 and the TD:1?

That looks nice

Seen the Nukeproof SNAP?

i have now. nice!

new ragley stuff listed on CRC now. carbon wisers due about now I think.

14" frames (effective top tube mainly) - especially the Blue Pig & Piglet?

572mm (22.5in) on the Blue Pig
588mm (23.1in) on the Piglet

Interesting, I wasn't expecting this as the on-one 456 jumps from 21.5" ett for the 14" to 23" for the 16".

I'm 5'7" but prefer a slightly smaller bike, hopefully the 14" blue pig will be perfect because I feel the current 16" blue pig is probably a bit big for me.

we're in the dark here, come on, give us some new info. How's the piglet Ti prototype like? Sizing? I suppose it would be best to get one size up against the BPig.
How do you expect people to place 2011 pre-orders??? :-p

Is it just me who wants to shake their fist disagreeably at whoever decided to discontinue the mmmbop?

You should have bought one while they were half price then 😛

Sorry for the thread bump but is there any more news on the Ti Piglet?

my 16" golden delicious piglet frame will be arriving today 🙂

pics later

I exchanged emails with Brant yesterday and the Ti Piglet is being shipped from Lynskey mid June and will be in the UK at the beggining of July - Can't wait!!! 😀

Once you have it built, it would be good to have some ride feedback?

Definitely - will do.

I'm going to run it singlespeed and build it with:
120mm Sid XX forks(15mm bolt though)
Hope Pro3's with stans
Answer Pro Taper 720 bars
70mm Answer AM stem
Thomson Elite inline post
XTR chainset (just 32 ring)
Gobi XM saddle
Hope Race X2 breaks
Chris King headset

piglet will have his headset fitted tomorrow, then built up ready for my burfdy on thursday.

nothing flash, all donor parts from the retiring rock lobster

lx and slx drivetrain, xt 160/180 brakes, revelation 426s at 130mm, ragley seatpost, sdg saddle, easton 75mm stem and 710mm bars, v12s, some wheels of some kind and kenda nevegals

liking it so far tho, frame detailing is good and impressed by the bolt on hose guides, very neat idea. gonna be tricky deciding where to put all the stickers 🙂

oh and if you were wondering how green golden delicious green is? very. kermit the frog green. really nice

Here's my 16" Piglet. Marzochhi 44 Micro Ti forks set to 130mm, 1x10 SLX drivetrain with MRP chain device, Crank Brothers Cobalt wheels, Continental Black Chilli Rubber Queen front and Mountain King rear, SLX brakes, Gravity 777mm bars, Nukeproof 50mm stem, Gravity Dropper, Ragley Saddle, DMR Vault pedals

that piglet looks blinkin fab.

insanely wide bars! :O

Ed that is nice 🙂

looking forward to getting it built up, will it be as much fun as it looks?

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 🙂

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

Is the non drive side rear drop out cowled like the drive side, want to use my kiddie trailer which neds the area around the drop out to be flat around the QR area. Photo of the area would be appreciated.

Cheers

Cowled the same yes.

Can you post some pictures of the rear tire clearance as I'm trying to see if will clear 2.3" 650b tires. Thanks

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