Hey,
been following this thread for 2 years already and finally decided that it' s time
had a trail bike on ragley big wig frame. Fun bike, but horrible at pedaling.
So ordered Sobato frame ( 17'',BSA, ud matte) on ebay and tideace fork because I could not register on alliexpress.
items came in around two week time to england. well packed and without any damage.
didn' t like the boring black colour, so plan was to have a bit of fun with spray cans. did use spray.bike paints.
So this will be my previous bike with parts
Frame - Ragley big wig 16"
Fork - RoskShox Sektor RL Gold 140mm
Headset - Gusset
Stem - Pro Koryak 60mm
Bar - Renthal Fatbar Lite Carbon 740mm (180g)
Grips - Ergo GE1
Crankset - Shimano XT M8000 32T chainring
Pedals - Shimano PD520
BB - Shimano Deore HT2
Seatpost - burgtec 31.6
Seatclamp - Hope
Saddle - Specialized Phenom comp ( ~2013 )
Wheelset - Hope Pro2 Evo/ZTR Arch Ex/Sapim race(R-998g/F883g) tubeless
Tires - F-Maxxis Ikon 2.2 3c/TR/EXO R- Maxxis Aspen 2.25 TR/EXO/120TPI + orange seal
Brakes - Shimano Deore M615
Brake Disc's - Shimano RT86 F-180mm/R-160mm
Cassette - 10 speed SunRace MX3 11-42 (389g)
Rear derailleur - Shimano SLX m7000
Shifter - Shimano Zee
Chain - Shimano XT
So most of these parts went from Ragley to this carbon frame.
I used seatpost from old road bike ( BMC granfondo ),because previous frame had 31.6mm post.
Zipp service course sl 70mm stem, cause it was little bit longer and was in the parts box )
ESI chunky grips, because I didn' t like those ergo grips at all, probably poor adjustment or something else
And in few days I will reduce travel on the fork, so it will be 100mm and then maybe paint lowers in same blue as the frame, only without white bits. SO then I will have 2 fork options )
Also at the moment rear is QR. ordered wrong adapters and hub spacing isn' t right, brake disc hits the caliper tabs.
my inacurate scales say that bike is 9kg
