We’ve been playing around with a new “owners gallery” for a while, and we’re sort of tip-toeing it out of the shadows. It’s called MyRagley.com – and it’s where you can look at peoples complete bike builds and videos.
If you want to send us some pics, you can, just by emailing them to myragley@ragleybikes.com – it’s that easy!
Your submissions will be held until a member of our team approve them, so if you’re going to send in rude pics, we’re the only ones that will see them.

Blue Pig Headtube stickers
Sorry – they’re too big to stick vertically. We will be making a revision and you’ll be able to get a proper one. In the mean time, you have a nice big Ragley sticker to stick somewhere else. OR – stick ‘em on sideways.

Guy’s got the Blue Pig
Took the Blue Pig pre-production model over to Guy Kesteven (What MTB and MBUK Test Editor) yesterday. He’s had the Ragley Ti on test (now written up and going to print) and wanted the steel model for another review in a month or so’s time. He seems pleased, which I’m delighted about. I’ve had a few hints on what the conclusions are, and suffice to say I’m chuffed to bits. “Other” people seem to be “getting it” and that’s great.Phew.
UPDATE :: I just got an email from him, and he really likes it

What's the numbers?
OK global bike companies. Here’s the numbers for the best riding trail hardtail around. Get copying now! All geometry listed at ride height with 25-30% fork sag.
Frame Size Top Tube (effective) Head Angle Seat Angle Chainstay BB Drop BB Height with 2.5′s 16in 23in 67.5deg 73deg 16.73in 0.8in 12.4in 18in 23.5in 67.5deg 73.5deg 16.73in 0.8in 12.4in 20in 24in 67.5eg 74deg 16.73in 0.8in 12.4in Geometry is set for contemporary 140mm travel forks. It will happily take 130′s or 150′s.
Updated:: Friday late afternoon.
So – what’s different? Well, it’s a series of tweaks that I’ve not seen anyone combine in one place before. The 67.5deg head angle is pretty slack by most peoples experiences, but combined with a long top tube and a short stem gives a bike that handles incredibly well at speed, through the rough, yet retains a quickness when you need it. It’s great. We recommend at 50-60mm stem.
Seat angle is steep and gets steeper the bigger the frame. This lets us use a short back end for good stood climbing, but also keeps your weight forward when you’re sat, going up. The steeper seat angle is to stop big lads sitting right back over the back wheel and looping out. It’s the reverse to what normally happens – the other option would be making the rear stays longer on bigger frames, which I didn’t fancy.
