The Blue Pig Complete bikes are very close to being available, below are a couple of shots of the two builds we’re offering are two very competitive price points.
It’s worth keeping an eye on our Facebook pages for discussions and the latest snippets of news.
“Great ride, great value for money, a winter bike for all year round”
we can’t argue with that
check the full review, they’ve gone into a lot of detail, and posted a ton of pictures which is always handy.
The Ragley Cragg Vale frameset (£329.99) is available now from your local Ragley Dealer
…the answer of course, is when it’s ISCG05.
I was suprised that anyone would think we would fit the old ISCG standard to our new frames (though there is a degree of sense with the old standard on steel frames as the tabs are shorter), but I can confirm that our frames are ISCG05 standard. Not ISCG.
First a report from Jason
(thye won’t be white for long.)
then Dave and his something
(I didn’t have a picture of Dave on hand)
We got a great “Best For Mucking About On” award from the Mail On Sunday. If you’ve come to this site after having read that article and want to know more, then HELLO! and please email us and we’ll sort you out with what you need to know about the Blue Pig bike.
We get asked sometimes…
Loads of room for a 2.25 with the sliders right up to the front, wouldn’t go any bigger or mud clearance might become an issue.
You won’t get tyre rub on the frame, even when really stomping. I can get the front mech to touch the (2.25″) tyre, just, in granny ring (and obviously riding SS you won’t have a front mech to care about!), but it won’t get near the frame unless you’ve got really REALLY flexy wheels!
Couple of pics attached to give an idea of clearance/how far forward the sliders are (sorry about the silly large size)
