As happy as a pig in ....

Seems to be quite a few Ragley Piglets on the forum so I thought I'd add some pics of my own which I built earlier in the year. Link to build - http://www.mtbe.co.uk/this-little-piggy-t16168.html I’m very very happy with it, but had always intended on a few upgrades as and when I could afford them. Upgrades from the original spec are;
Gear indicator windows removed and brakes moved inward to allow single finger braking.
Raceface Ride AM double and bash
Funn Soljam Viper pedals – Ridiculously long ‘race’ pins replaced with more sensible ‘street’ ones.
Shimano SLX medium cage rear mech
SRAM PC971 chain
SRAM PG970 11-34 Cassette
KS I950R Dropper Seatpost (brilliant bit of kit!)
Funn Rippa Stem 50mm, sounds short but actually suits the bike perfectly.
Winter mods;
Front and rear crudcatchers
Homemade ‘Neo guard’
Here it is in its current state, having just come back from a great Boxing Day ride round my local trails.
Nice and clean ready for its next outing
No more upgrades planned for the foreseeable future, although I do rather like the look of some of those Superstar wheels…

Very nice.
Been out on my Piglet twice today!
Although it didn't get that dirty :-)You can never have too many bikes!0 -
It's suprising just how much of the muck is kep off by the mudguards. It's a far more pleasant experiance not being cold, wet and muddy, and not having to stop every 5 minutes to clean my glasses off. I wasn't too sure on the colour when I saw the frame by itself, but I think it's built up into a nice looking bike, it does look a lot better without the white crudcatchers on it.0

Yeah, the route to the rear mech seems a bit odd, but it works. Not convinced I like the bolt on cable clamps. Every time need to adjust one cable all the others move as well.0
