    It looks ace as it is - why would you want to put some £2.99 stickers on it that you found in the box?

    Stickers off - those in the know will know it's a Ragley anyway :wink:

    Where did you get the headset from?

    The oversize headtube is the only thing that is putting me off getting this frame. I reaaly dont want to pay the earth for a headset.

    It's a Hope 1.5 reducer headset (i'm running 1 1/8" forks), it was only about £60, which is the same price as a normal Hope headset. You can get them from loads of places online.


    I've got a Cane Creek Double X on my Bulllit which is a onepointfive (not a reducer, i'm running 1.5 forks) and it's great too. Think it was about £90.

    i think i'm going to build one of these up soon, i'll get a 16 inch, but do you think i should get blue or green? and is it warrantied for 160mm?

    the 16" will probably be too big for you and the 18" will be like riding an elephant :)

    I'm about 5' 9" and the 16" has just enough stand over for me (31" inside leg) when things get a bit rough, and the reach is good with a 50mm stem.

    try and find one built up that you can test ride in 16".

    Thanks for your advice, I currently ride an 18 inch/medium (I found it to big, so I’ve put replaced the 100mm stem with a 60, and put the saddle forwards, and it’s ok, but the top tube is quite high) so I doubt the 16 inch will be too big, I was more worried it would be too small, once I’ve finished growing, but after hearing your advice, I think I’ll get the 16 inch, i expect I’ll grow to about 5” 9 or 10, as that’s how tall my dad is, so do you think the 16 inch would be ok?
