Just about any sounds that shouldn't be there.

Hey guys, how is your experience with noises on this bike while riding, how quiet it is? ( seen that 180mm bolt issue )

Hey guys,
So anyone who have this frame and posted those bolts with some wear ... Did it get any worse?

Ok, so another go... Has anyone here tried to ride this carbonda and specialized epic evo? ( 2020/2021 )

Maybe anyone here have tried this carbonda bike and specialized epic evo? I think I could justify spending ~4k € on a bike and not sure which is better.

Maybe someone here has tried specialized epic evo and this frame ? How they are in comparison?

Yes.
First painted frame and fork in white. Then applied some hair gel on it ( random lines, thicker lines work much better ) and then painted it all blue. Removed hair gel and you can see the result )


Here you can see gel under blue paint ( actually really liked it in plain blue )

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

Hi.
Have read whole thread and really like the frame. At least I like the looks and weight of it. Can someone share the ride impressions?  I'm doing all kinds of riding. Trails, xc races and sometimes just goofing around in a city down the stairs and so on, so will this frame be fun on trail downhills?)
