That colour  :drool:  actually everything about that bike. How's the Rand/Pound exchange rate looking these days?

Ha, ha! As if you need to ask. I've locked down any idea of getting a new (or used frame from the UK) at the moment.

 

Not sure why but I've never really had a thing for ragley. That frame though has some great touches with the rear brake mount and rear strut. Good numbers as well and looks so good as a whole bike with a 140mm fork. 

 

Current pricing: Frame is £550 and no stock until August. 

 

But would you put this over a Cotic SolarisMAX or BfeMAX or a Ribble 725?

Here is my bike.... currently set at 150mm with an RCT3 Pike with Charger Damper which is too much fork... Been meaning to swap out the air spring to the Debonair 140mm I have or get a 130mm but just never get to it.

 

It's a rad machine... 

 

Dude, that is exactly the frame I was thinking about in the the colour way that is so sweet. That will keep me happy all day. Honestly If i could find one like that at a good price I'd probably shelve the search now... but with gears obviously. ;)

Ja haha, that exchange rate means no new frames for me from UK, or anywhere for that matter!

 

I was considering a Ragley some time ago when I was looking to replace my Solaris Max (Medium size - should've bought a large). I ended up going for a Slade purely based on price - I don't regret it, but I miss steel. I've also never really had an affinity for Ragley, but this colour is very enticing.

 

As for this over a Solaris Max - at the same price I'd take the Cotic. I just have a special place in my heart for any bike they make, and I absolutely loved my first gen Solaris Max. It was the most versatile bike I've ever owned, but the fact that I bought a medium meant it was a bit short and had a 75mm stem on - great for XC/bikepacking/etc, but it got a bit squirelly on steeper stuff and I actually had 2 big falls which prompted the acquisition of the Slade. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat if I had the funds available - especially with the updated geo. I'd just get a large this time around  :blush:

Might just have to throw down a 'wanted ad' for a Medium one of those. Totally forgot they were rocking the real steel!
