      @@Bike_Guy I ordered one because I loved the colour. But your video is the first time I've actually seen it other than a website image.
      I'm in Australia so getting bike parts has been hard work.
      Anything with grx has been a nightmare. The shifters required lots of searching.
      I have not opened my ragley frame box as I'm waiting till I get all the parts for the build.
      I liked watching your building of the bike.. thanks for the videos

    Superb build there! I built a 29er with the Ragley Big Al and the frame quality is fantastic to be fair

      I’m caught in 2 minds whether to sell mine as I’ve just bought the On One Free Ranger after watching your previous vids. It takes some getting used to after I’ve never ridden a road or gravel bike before but good fun nonetheless!

    Interesting stuff again, thanks for all the videos, been enjoying them this week. One thing I was wondering is how riding the Trig compares to the Tempest that you did a thorough test on...& is that more kit related or frame? Sure you're busy, any info appreciated 👍

    • @Bike_Guy
      @Bike_Guy  Год назад +2

      Hi Tom. It’s a while since I rode - September was my last ride! So not really put the Trig properly through its paces. I think the Tempest was more about the frame and it’s ride quality. The supplied kit was pretty basic, with the exception of the group set of course. I changed a few bits as soon as I got it - saddle, stem, bars. The handful of times I’ve ridden the Trig the steel frame felt solid and literally no vibration. It obviously felt heavier, but not in a slow, cumbersome way. Having the Hunt XWide gravel wheels gives some cushioning and I’ve yet to really give the narrow wide chain ring (and brand new chain) a trail. Remember the bike you had as a kid, that you could chuck at anything and it felt bombproof? That’s the impression I got from the Trig. Thank you for watching the vids 🙂

      @@Bike_Guy much appreciated! I think I totally know what you mean about it, I have an old steel rigid Kona (94 I think) converted for pub rides with 2.2 Halo twin treads and there's something about it I can't quite describe...but it does feel like being a kid. I was wondering if the Trig would be like that but more able while the Tempest is clearly a great, lighter bike tho. Fair point about the kit too, having contact points and set up just right is as important as the frame really and can add to cost of buying a full bike. Super helpful, thanks again 👍👍👍

    Hi, nice series of videos! How do you find the trig vs topstone? Wondering about going for the lighter setup with topstone or steelframe trig. Doing commuting, gravel and road on the same bike. Have a Big AL for trail and can recommend it 😊

    • @Bike_Guy
      @Bike_Guy  Год назад

      I did a few thousand miles on the topstone and loved it, but never had a comparison against another frame type. Although I haven’t done many miles since I built the Trig, I like the more solid feel to the ride quality compared to the alloy frameset. It has a smoothness about it. The penalty is weight, but to be honest it’s not huge in the grand scheme of things.

    Hey man nice bike, nice video, I s see you have the 42T chainring, would you get a bigger chasing on there or is that the biggest?

    • @Bike_Guy
      @Bike_Guy  Год назад +1

      You could get bigger. I started with a 46t from the 2x donor chainset. There was plenty of room.

      @@IGH11011 you may well get a 50t fitted. I’d probably Email the Ragley site and check that there’d be no issues. Although I reckon most modern bikes are pretty diverse in relation to the gearing.
