Hardtail Talk!!

Congratulations man!! That color is beautiful

Thanks! It's really a sweet color. And it was awesome the shop had pedals to match it lol.
First ride tonight just on the rail trail but it's a fun bike. Flickable and fast. When dropper post is down it looks like a dirt jumper, with that 130mm fork. Riding position feels almost exactly like the Trance X I just sold, which is pretty neat. I can fit 29" wheels on this if I want to as well.
A gold chain and Kashima coated fork would look awesome on this. And tan sidewalls.

I have a loam, a cascade, and a pine. All work great. Have a one up on my hardtail, which I like, but it gets sticky sometimes.

Anyone running a PNW loam dropper? If so do you like it?

Yup. It’s been great. And the easy adjustability gave me confidence to go with 200mm, knowing I could shorten if necessary. I don’t think you can do better for the price.

I almost asked about it even tho I have one but then I saw it’s a 3 hour drive each way without traffic for me. That’s a steal.

It may be too good to be true, I did contact the guy. No answer yet. But on Tuesday I have to drive to Long Island for work so…

I had it saved in my favorites. It’s sold. Just saved you $600

I've had aluminum,carbon and steel HT's.
Steel is by far the best riding. This one's a keeper. View attachment 167100

Sweet bike. Tough to find a steel version but I will keep trying. I've found one or two a few states away but most sellers refuses to ship.

It's a unicorn all right, but the wrong size for me or I would jump on it like a rabid racoon!

Building my first Frame up “hardtail“ Ragley Big AL. Just wanted some feedback from other riders that ride “hardtail’s” What are you riding? What parts do you have on your bike?

I built up the steel version of the Big AL (Blue Pig) and sold it to a happy rider in NC. I currently have a Sonder Signal Ti spec'd with Pike Ultimate, GX group, Code R brakes, and a OneUp dropper.

Now I know why the others cost more! Cause this thing feels like it’s made of plastic
