Brant's new venture is called RAGLEY, but was first known as Shedfire. Well, Ragley's TI hardtail can fit the Pacenti Quasi-Moto! Brant is busy designing more frames for the line, so we can only hope he uses the same amount of CS clearance on the rest of his 26" bikes.

Maybe if you ask nicely, Brant will make one of his bikes in 650b.
I asked a few years ago what he thought of the wheelsize. He didn't want to go 'on record' about his opinion on 650B.
Brant told me he loves the idea but isn't ready to commit until it's more 'mainstream'. His business is all about turning a quick sale to riders looking to buy on the cheap.

Ragley is all new from my previous company, with much more concentration on odd stuff.
Seeing as our frames are designed to run BIG 26in tyres, there's not a problem running 650B's in there at all. They appeared, when I looked to be the same as a 2.55 WTB rubber we had around.
If we'd designed it around skinny 2.1's, then there'd be an appreciable difference and it'd be worth doing, but for now, I'm happy that Ed's checked and it all fits.
I think there are bigger things to worry about than what size wheels you run. So just glad the new rear triangle give peoples more options.
I might try sticking my 24in rear wheel in there with a 3in gazzaloddi tyre.
Just ticking the "replies" box.
Thanks for the response, Brant. This is good news since I have a crush on a couple of your frames.
Does the Ti Ragely have the exact same geo as the mmmBop and Blue Pig, i.e., same chainstay clearance?
Ti Ragley, yes, is the same as the other two. Clearance/geometry etc
