Ragley Marley Hardtail Frame

NEW for 2013, we introduce the Ragley Marley! The Marley features our all NEW 2013 Trail Geometry and is the alloy version based on our new 2013 Ragley Piglet. The Marley features a custom hydro-formed triple butted 7005 T6 series aluminium frame and our revised trail geometry. Building on the success of our earlier Piglet we have retained our innovative features such as the 3 Finger Bridge and our Taperlite seattube. The inclusion of ISCG 05 tabs hint at this bikes true intentions for getting lairy on the trails and hammering the descents!

The Marley uses the 44mm headset standard which permits the use of headsets from Cane Creek, Nukeproof and others to accommodate all steerer tube configurations. With the right headset, this frame can take a 1.125in, tapered or 1.5in fork. We recommend Nukeproof headset models - 44IESS and 44IISS (standard), 44IETS (tapered) or 44EEOS (1.5in steerer).
Ragley New 2013 Trail Geometry:

• Our revised geometry retains a slack headangle of 67deg to provide impeccable trail manners when coupled with a mid to long travel fork. We have dropped the bottom bracket height to lower your centre of gravity and inspire confidence through the rough stuff with improved handling and stability.

Ragley Marley Hardtail Frame Features:

• Custom hydro-formed 7005 series aluminium
• CE EN14766
• "Three Finger" chainstay bridge is exclusive to Ragley, and allows massive tyre clearance so you can fit 2.5in rubber with massive chainring and tyre clearance. Happy with 36t middle rings and gives resilience to any attempted chainsuck/derailment. Bridgeless design gives better mud clearance.

  The wheels are missing, that's why it's discounted…

    That's why it's called a hard tail. You have to drag it around.

      I thought it was called a hard tail because of how hard it feels on your tail when you sit on the seat tube without a seat post?

    It's a frame; build your own bike basically. Think of it like a motherboard, it's not a complete computer, but you can choose your own bits. Missing a headset though, which is usually standard for a frame, but not that expensive. They've made recommendations so you won't have to figure out the size, but another issue is usually putting it in (a headset press is required for an unthreaded headset, which is usually standard in most non-hipster frames).

      "Missing a headset though, which is usually standard for a frame"

      Incorrect (at least for mountain bikes)

      I've built a few mountain bikes over the years, and you never get the headset with the frame. Like all the other components you choose one yourself.

      Regarding installation of the headset- your local bike shop will have the proper tools to do this (normal charge is about $20) but there are plenty of 'ghetto' methods for DIY headset installation- the most common of which is to use two bits of wood with a long threaded bolt between them.

      Building a bike isn't like building a computer, in that buying the components for a bike and building it yourself is almost always MORE expensive than buying one 'off the shelf' People who build bikes themselves do so because they enjoy it and want to hand pick each component, not to save money.

  That is an ugly frame.
