Click this for mint blue pig build vid……….you have probably seen already if you are this far

arrrgh cant make up my mind if i want a pig or m bop,

i test rode the bop and liked the feel and weight,and it did sprint well,cant get a test ride on a pig ,iknow it will be heavier but does look better but does it ride better,anyone got a pig in the south crawley/dorking area i could test ride

top gear much?

good vid. nice build too. pity it's only got kiddie sized wheels though 🙂

Lock, I have the same dilemma. The BP looks just so much nicer than the MB. I haven't ridden either but would definitely like to own one or t'other. I wondered if the MmmBop would be a harsh ride?

anyone got a pig in the south crawley/dorking area i could test ride

Don't Nirvana Cycles now do Ragleys?

Can they not help you out with a test ride?

yep they do ,only the mbop as a demo though,whats the weight differance in the frames

Nirvana were considering building up the BP – might be worth giving them a call.

pity it's only got kiddie sized wheels though

I decided I wanted it to handle, and give people options on forks and tyres 😉

give us some feedback on the ride of the 2 bikes please mate,im not a number basher not bothered about sag measurements :lol:just weight,ride feel and colours(so shallow)

im selling me stiffee frame to help fund one,you mentioned some were you might even pop down to nirvana bikes for a ride ,let me know if you can sort out a b pig medium test ride,if you do come down this way we do a good ride from nirvana every wed 😉

Slightly gay video. Cool bike.

18bikes in Hope have/had an 18in demo bike.
Here is the pic I took on my demo day;

just weight

.. no idea, I just built it using bits from my v-old Bontrager and my Kona Dawg. It is more about how it rides.

ride feel

…..mmmmm. With some decent forks on it I am sure(know)it is better. I have some 2nd hand Marz something or others fitted till I can afford something else. It does however feel stiff compared to my v-old Bonty. It should considering all that gusseting and bigger tubes. However the rear end feels nice and forgiving. I have a dodgy back and have been out for 3/4hr trail centre rides without a twinge. That is why I bought it after a 4hr Peaks demo ride from the door of the shop. I do like the solid feel of where the rear brake is mounted, I do think that helps braking power. Sprinting power is good. Climbing is good, and I am not the worlds best at that no matter what the bike is due to knee and back problems. Overall me and the Pig just clicked first time.
On the downs?? I pedalled past a couple of guys on a very rocky decent on my demo bike. One was on a Heckler and the other a Giant fs of some kind. My mate could not keep up on his v- light, 26lb Heckler 😈
There are the geometry experts on here who say that it should be good at this or bad at that and so far as I am concerned they are all talking out of their collective rears 😳 It is a good trail centre bike, it does climb well, it does descend well, it is an all day in the hills bike, just does everything I want/need from a bike 😆

and colours

… Orange or Black atm. Ended up with the black cause I could not wait for an orange to be ordered/delivered.

one of our local downhill runs is around 1.5 miles long, on my old aluminium ht my legs felt really pumped at the bottom, on my blue pig it doesn't, i guess this is due to the "give" of the steel, climbing is great too no front wheel wander, really happy with mine, getting faster downhill too.
