I have heard a rumor that there is a new Mmmbop coming, is it true? If not does anyone know which of this years ragleys is the replacement, I'm after a frame that will take a 140mm fork, preferably in Aluminium.
Isn't the Troof the MmmBop's replacement?
Get a blue pig, tis ace .
The Troof seems to take 160-180mm forks though, the blue pig does look good, but I was really after aluminium, wish I had bitten the bullet when CRC were doing them at £154 now 🙁
Aye - we sold loads of mmmbops and are still getting enquiries (from the UK and abroad) for them. Seems they just weren't popular enough to retain in the range.
I think they would have sold a lot more if it hadn't been for the silly name.
I remember hearing that the blue pig outsold the mmmBop 10:1 before CRC slashed the prices. Probably explains why it's not in the 2011 range.
Are there any other 140mm aluminium frames for around the £300 mark?
A poster on the BikeRadar forum claims he has had an email from Brant confirming this.
The topic heading is "Ragley mmmm Bop or On-One 456?"
Mmmbop was discontinued 🙁 Didn't sell well til they put the big discounts on. Blue Pig is still around though.
There is a new mmmbop coming out. It'll cost £249 and the rear brake caliper will be on the seatstay, not the chainstay. The new colours are still tbc.
Where have you seen this confimred please? I thought the Troof was the 'replacement'
I emailed the designer and owner of Ragley, Brant Richards. The Troof is definitely not the replacement for the mmmbop. It's slacker, heavier, and optimised for 150-170mm forks, instead of 130-150mm forks.
Until I see official confirmation or an announcement, rather than forum speculation, I'll take it that the mmmbop is no more!
After all if there was to be a replacement, surely it would be mentioned somewhere on their website?
Yeah, I just got an email back from Ragley (very promptly, I only sent it this afternoon), there will be a replacement but not until much later in the year, guess they're fairly busy at the moment.
Which year?
Which year?
Exactly.
Hope to get something out for "autumn" - maybe earlier, but unlikey.

Hehe, that was a bit strange seeing something I wrote on another forum copied here! Anyway, sounds good on another model, I'm yet to finish my current mmmBop build yet though 🙁
