My Ragley

My Blue pig

Have had this bike since building it in April this year and I can honestly say it is THE
best hardtail I have ever riden. It's a proper trail eating monster and can soak up
anything it's thrown down and i love it.
I'm running:
Rock shox Sektor RL 150mm with 15mm Maxxle
20" Blue pig frame
Race face evolve AM bar an 50mm stem
Race face Respond double ring chain set
SRAM X7 Shifters and front and rear derailures
Shimano Saint brakes with 203mm rotors just cause I like them
Ragley spike seatpost
Charge surface saddle
Superstar Switch evolve hubs on AM-50 Rims
Maxxis Minion rubber front and rear
Crank bros mallet pedals
Cant wait for the G-6 to be released thats will definatly be my next project build and if its as good as the pig
im sure I'll love it too

BluePigX from the birthplace of civilization - Athens

I am sending photos of my brand new ''partner''.

Although I have been a XC racer (with FS), this is the first time I enjoy riding. The smile that is drawn on my face reaches my ears (this is a traditional Greek expression in order to express the emotions one feels)

The title I would choose for this bike could be : ''The forgotten pleasure''.

Every time that I am behind those bars, I feel like I am holding a hummer and I see everything around me as nail. Meaning that I want to hit every berm, to hit every rock, to be in the air in any situation. Every singletrack is like a safe ''playground''.

It is not just another bike....it is the ''elevator'' of the soul ....!!!!

Ragley Blue Pig MK1 - rigid 96er

Hi All,

For two years the Pig served me well and has been fit with number of forks and other components. Trails near where I live are fairly smooth and I use the Pig for my daily commuting (11 miles one way) so I have decided to give a try with 29er front wheel and rigid forks. Been riding like that for over a month and can say it makes so much sense for what I use the bike for, the bike is much faster. I took it like that for Bristol Oktoberfest 4hr race and was more than satisfied with the setup. Do not get me wrong, I still have the pair of RVL's XX hanging on the wall in case we go out for some serious MTB'ing.

Cheers!

PS. Saint cranks were fitted temporarily only, I normally use the Deus one which were awaiting a new crank bolt at the time.

More pictures of how the bike has transformed through years on Pinkbike.

The Ragoire in the Sky with...

Here’s the Ragoire on a very wet and soggy Skyline trail at Afan, Wales on the 17^th Sept.

The terrible conditions resulted in a dulled top tube due to muddy shorts rub but its still doing strong and dealt with the rocky downhills better than I did!

The Ragoire does Royalty

Here’s the Ragoire outside Buckingham Palace while taking part in the London Skyride on Sunday 4^th Sept.

It was somewhat out of its natural environment but still got recognised as a bad boy Blue Pig!

The Ragoire does Cannock

Here’s the ‘Ragoire’ enjoying a wee rest at Cannock Chase trail centre on 13^th Aug 2011.

Sadly, a few miles after this I rode into a tree and broke my knuckle so it was no riding for me or the Ragoire for a few weeks L

hi guys this is my Ragley blue pig MK2 custom build with :

Shimano XTR shifters, SLX double and bash cranks, SLX front mech, saint rear mech, and a XT cassette and XT brakes. it has hope pro II evo straight pull on stans flow rims wheel set (tube less). Thompson seat post and 50mm stem. a Fizik saddle. nuke proof head set. rock shox sektor coil U-turn 150 mm travel with 20mm bolt through, and a black spire stinger chain device.

this is a awesome bike glad I got a blue pig and nothing else. It has to be one of the best Hard tail bikes on the market. with the slack head angle it makes it a superb bike for down hill and with the U-turn fork it makes it easy to climb too. The blue pig is a excellent bike to go down the blue pig decent on.
