• Tom’s Ragley TD-1

    My new build is finally complete!

    I started with the idea to build a different bike but everything didn’t work out as planned with the framebuilder and a 4-month delay. Anxious to build up something I resorted to my wish list: a non-suspension corrected Ti 29er. Unaware of anything like this available (aside from going custom), I weighed out all my options until a friend told me about the Ragley TD-1.

    Titanium – check
    29er – check
    Non-suspension corrected geometry – check
    SS / Sliding drop-outs – check

    I think we have everything we need here

    Anyways, here are some photos!

    Specs:
    Frame/fork:
    Ragley TD-1 18″ frame (Titanium, welded by Lynskey)
    Pace RC-31 440mm A-C (26″ suspension corrected fork)

    Wheels:
    Chris King Hubset with Singlespeed rear
    Stans ZTR Crest 29er rims
    DT Swiss Revolution 2.0/1.5/2.0 spokes
    DT Swiss aluminum nipples
    Schwalbe Racing Ralph 29er 2.25″ tires setup tubeless

    Components:
    Hope X2 Race 160mm front and rear brakes with Hope floating rotors
    3T XIDA LTD carbon flatbar
    Cane Creek 110 headset
    ESI Chunky grips
    Thomson X4 Stem (70mm)
    Thomson Masterpiece seatpost (27.2 x 330mm)
    Fizik Arione CX saddle
    White Industries ENO crankset (175mm arms, 32T ring)
    White Industries Ti bottom-bracket (113mm x 68mm)
    Shimano PD-540 pedals
    Chris King Stainless 18T cog
    KHE Tanga hollow-pin singlespeed chain
    KCNC Ti Skewers

    Kind of weight-weenie, but more weight conscious (lots of places I could have shaved weight). I have yet to weigh it, but it feels nice and light. Action shots soon!
