Hard to say, I'd contact Brant or Ragley. I'd guess about 31 inches at the middle of the top tube.0

18in - 31.9in standover (115mm head tube)0

Thankyou 4the quick replies
unfortantley thats really blown it 4me i'm 5 10 with a 31 inside leg, great bike but thats to tall 4me absolutly gutted thats tall surely a curved/lower top tube would have made it more accessable to more people.

Did consider 16 but do not want a cramped cockpit i,ve currently got gt pantera [hafords special] in medium size thats about 29 inch standover and shortish top tube would check 4sure but its in the shed and its dark :shock: a ragley with short stem as recomended would probably be to cramped :?: if the 18 inch is 31.9 the 16 must be quite tall too

The 16in is about an inch lower (at 31in).
You will have great difficulty finding a 140mm hardtail with significantly more standover. The height of the fork just makes it so.
On-One's (that I used to design) were shorter with a 90mm head tube vs 115mm on the Ragley. So you might gain another half inch in the middle of the top tube there.
23in top tube on the 16in isn't what I'd call cramped, and exactly the right size for someone who's 5'10". The Blue Pig is designed to feel quite short from saddle to bars, but nice and roomy from pedals to bars when stood (we do this with quite a steep seat angle, 73deg on the 16in, at ride height).0 -
Perhaps trying to find a test ride of a blue pig would be a good idea. You can look at the numbers all you want, but nothing will tell you like actually tootling about on one.0

thanks again 4the reply
23inch is a good length for 16 but surely useing shorter stems to keep steering sharp cancels out the extra length in the top tube :?:
thankyou anyway and the best of luck to you and your bikes, they are something different 2 the main stream stuff and i really wanted 1 beautiful bikes, but i don't think they will fit me like i hoped

If you're wanting a stretched out seated position, then the Blue Pig is completely the wrong bike for you. Well done for recognising this.0
