I can't decide on green or ivory. Help sway my decision, please.

if you're after an 18 or 20, maybe a free Hope headset would sway the decision?

Green looks nicer, but ivory goes better with your team kit.

sponging-machine is a one-mountain-bike guy so when he finally coughs up for an xc race he will.

Mutley - what was the problem with the seat tube?

@yetiman, tube was too big internally and the post kept slipping. i think this is a problem with all of the first load of piglets. had to have the qr as tight as it would go and it still slipped.

real shame as it is a fantastic bike and i am relegated to the full suss til august ๐Ÿ˜•

These do look nice, they should come in purple though, because purple is nice. ๐Ÿ™‚

Not all - some of the 16in size were reamed wrong (sort of offset reamed). We have recalled them and are remaking them currently.

mutley.... be thankful you had yours for 6 weeks... I had mine for about a week where I built it up before it all came apart again and went back to the shop with a dodgy rear break mount...

Am not feeling so chuffed about the August date too...

Humph...

ive had a BluePig mkII from day one when they were released and mine seems a little slack in the seat-tube area. I have my QR very tight but still had a little slippage. Ive put it down to greasing the seatpost a bit too 'liberally' but we'll see tomorrow when i have a day off and a long ride.

Gotta get some pics for myragley too, now ive fitted the front mech. Needed more goodridge hose than was in the kit cos it runs outers alllll the way, which looks class!

Ive gone with orange and white parts.....right old tart of a bike ๐Ÿ˜‰

PS. GREEEEEEENNNN FTW! (ive got a Kawasaki ZX6r 05 and green is waaaay faster =] )

I was swayed towards ivory, but green and a free headset sorts it for me. Just need to sell my xl trance frame (see classifieds).

As for team kit, gonna find a red & black 29er to match when I get my bonus in the new year.

they're 2004 Fox Vanilla 125RLC's - I got them PUSH tuned a couple of years back and Boxxer seals fitted (which involves machining the lowers apparently).
A bit over the top really when all they needed was new bushings and an oil change ๐Ÿ˜‰
they are loads better now though

Went for Ivory in the end, although looks more like magnolia really:
