MBUK wanted some hi-res shots for a forthcoming “thing” in the magazine (that we can’t tell you about yet). So we’ve uploaded them to the Shedfire Flickr site, if you want to check out the detail of the welding and finishing yourself.Pics are here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/shedfire/sets/72157619461134721/

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. -

Hopelessly badly shot, badly edited but well intentioned. I take you through some of the key design points of the new Ragley Blue Pig – the first CEN approved long travel steel hardtail in its class.
