Maybe it should be called.. "Bike of the show".

Not that I don't think its a great bike, and probably is "The best bike". I just wonder how many of the voters actually rode the bike further than 10 metres?

Good on PYGA. I voted Yeti, as I felt they were trying new things, as opposed to keeping to tried & tested.... Looks like I'll have to make peace with the Sworks....

You could "demo" quite a few of these at the Fair. The MTB's at least. Not like bombing the best single track in the world, but at least get a feel for it. 

 

Not the same, I know.

Must say sold my Santa Cruz recently. (Prematurely) after deciding it's been standing to long and it was simply a case of cruelty to my steed of choice over the last couple of years, I think that was my 4th or 5th Santa Cruz simply because I couldn't find a better ride and not from a lack of testing other rides,,,

So I was thinking maybe it's a sign, change is as good as a holiday,, TOP OF MY POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS will def be a Pyga, I can honestly say I have heard nothing but praise of the product and back up

As I read my post I realized this is the hub, someone will post a link to a topic of a disgruntled hubber

Sho....don't know what you want? :whistling:

You remind me of my son...the other day he  asked for a peanut butter sarmie and when I made one and gave it to him he told me he changed his mind and wanted jam instead. :cursing:

Nope ;). Actually at first the orange ones were different and looked great, put enough mileage on that one, then decided time for replacement, the blue one was a frame replacement due to a cracked frame, (fire engine) rides that one now, if he still has it. Then I got a black one(chucky rides that one),,,,then a white one came up initially I liked the look, didn't last long AND THEN SC 2 so I thought it was obviously a sign that it was time for an upgrade :) I think that's the order,,, SC2 I had for a year and I am very embarrassed to say it had less than 3000km on it ,,,,

Who has the biggest selection, stock holding of PYGA in the gauteng AREA??
