See and download the full gallery on posterousNew unique-to-us “rough brushed” finish. I wanted something raw and funky, not mirrored and poncy.

Shot some video and took some pics on the ride this morning. They seem OK (ish) to me. But there’s a bit of “walking back” and “doing it again”. About six scenes and some pics. Do you fancy having a go at editing it?
Quite a few people had a go. You can get the footage here.

I’ve just recieved further notice that the Blue Pig has passed CEN 14766 with just a single frame being used for all the tests.
There is a clause that says “In general, for static, impact and fatigue tests, each test shall be conducted on a new test sample”. But our frame survived all tests, without failure.Really chuffed.

Just got word back from our frame factory in Taiwan, that SGS (who do testing) confirm that our steel Ragley Blue Pig has passed the CEN 14766 test.
The vertical pedal loading test is for 100,000 cycles (so that proves the chainstay bridge and dropouts are solid), and the horizontal fatigue test (50,000 cycles) shows the strength of the front of the bike.
It’s actually my first experience of this testing, as previously I’d done things by “send a fat lad down a hill for a few years” or “if it breaks make it a bit thicker”. I’ve heard many stories of steel frame manufacturers having issues with this test, so I’m really chuffed we’ve got it nailed so quickly. -

We like it better this way. Shades of Grant Peterson. Who is a hero of mine, though I’d never admit it sober.
And I’d still like to meet Pineapple Bob.
If you get even half the references in this post without the use of Google, then I’ll give you a free pack of beef jerky (when we work that deal out).
