Who's designed the new Ragley and Nukeproof bikes? They look awesome!
dunno, but they made a cracking job of that Mega.

Nice Bigwig, are those 2.8 or 3.0 Nobbys? Is it a boost fork? That's the interrogation over
2.8 rear 3.0 front and nope standard pikes
reckon youd get a 3.0 in there?
yep tonnes of room ragley say a 3.0 on a 44mm rim
nice. it looks awesome!
Some very nice bikes there... The Mega 29 looks an absolute monster. Guess it just remains to find out how much they discount them
What do you think of the bigwig? Tempted to port everything over from my Parkwood.

@coomber I've had a Parkwood as well and this is quite a different beastie , it reminds me of a cotic bfe and doesnt pedal uphill too bad considering its got a 64.5degree head angle .I wouldn't suggest going shorter than a 140mm fork if using 650b+ wheels as i've already had a few pedal strikes using 170mm crank.
ryu1720 that looks great - any more pics? What fork are you running?
Any pics of the chainstay clearance please?
Running a standard rc 140mm pike with 25mm id rims so tyres are not as wide as they could be .And sorry no more pics of chainstay clearance till wednesday evening but very similar to seat stays as the frame has been designed for 3" tyres[img][url= https://farm1.staticflickr.com/685/23099150883_6630071232_k.jp g" target="_blank">https://farm1.staticflickr.com/685/23099150883_6630071232_k.jp g"/> [/img][/url][url= https://flic.kr/p/BccbN8 ]DSC_0936[/url] by [url= https://www.flickr.com/photos/136996011@N06/ ]RYAN KENT[/url], on Flickr[/img][img][url= https://farm1.staticflickr.com/699/23098110174_98403fa11e_k.jp g" target="_blank">

Thanks for those pics, that looks brilliant!
Yes thanks for the pictures - looks fantastic.
What size is that? 18"?
Yep thats an 18" im 5'7" with a 29" inside leg, reverb is slammed for a comfy fit.
Looks really good!
I thought that looked good too till I saw the sizing. 435 reach on a 20 inch / large frame isn't particularly long. My 2013 18 inch / medium frame is only 3mm shorter and at 5.10 I'm hardly a giant.
