I am looking at a Ragley Blue Pig mainly because I am poor, do any monkeys own one or have any knowledge on their build quality? I know the earlier ones cracked at the seat tube but the main thing that concerns me is that the designer was the man from On-One and thought the Ragley may come from the same frame builder and On-One's QC is non existent.
I was also looking at the NS surge but I don't think the new version is coming to Australia, the Kona Explosif is only available as a built bike, Ramones Cromo frame isn't available here and the Charge distributor stopped bringing frames in.
If anyone else has suggestions for cheap low slack steel hardtails feel free to post them up, not really keen on 29ers.
