I've not heard of problems with ragley stuff before so I assume I've just been really unlucky to get 2! Building your own bike is very satisfying, give it a go.Donkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919359296842026180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-5861304740891106052010-10-23T14:06:38.264+01:002010-10-23T14:06:38.264+01:00What you have described in a great post is my nigh...What you have described in a great post is my nightmare senario, now I think I am definitly put off building my own, was also thinking of Ragley... never mind, keep going though, like to hear more when you can.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15535204665820219751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-66623679849666420262010-10-22T10:19:35.189+01:002010-10-22T10:19:35.189+01:00When I needed to change to a layback post on my mo...When I needed to change to a layback post on my mountain bikes there didn't seem to be many 400mm with laybacks.

The frames the right length TT wise but yeah it may well be a smidge too short, roox are long but no layback.Donkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919359296842026180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-44267901673658350972010-10-21T23:17:06.999+01:002010-10-21T23:17:06.999+01:00Thought my original 456 was "green" but ...Thought my original 456 was "green" but that wins it really does. Not good all the faff with it but the Ragley is not for me anyway, just waiting for slot Scandals to reappear in munchkin size.<br /><br />A >400mm seatpost could be interesting to find, a mate of mine used to have a Roox which was quite long but seems the frame really is too small for you.<br /><br />I have a 15 degree Thomson stem lying around doing nothing but it's 100mm so may be too long, I finally took it off the green On One and replaced with an 80mm recently (what the frame was designed for!).Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-400579979272363922010-10-21T23:13:33.354+01:002010-10-21T23:13:33.354+01:00I feel sick.I feel sick.loweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343020119657742047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506170516970820166.post-13841540722106668232010-10-21T23:05:32.137+01:002010-10-21T23:05:32.137+01:00bummer.

The green is OK, you're stuck with it now anyway, although you could get it blasted and powdercoated. It's all very fast, you'd have it back in less than a week.samurihttp://www.samuri.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
