Used to ride years ago and really enjoyed it (mainly trail). I previously had a full suspension bike(s) - been through a few over the years. Want to get back into cycling and was thinking of buying a hardtail (based on not wanting to break the bank, and relatively chilled riding). Will I regret it? Will it kill my back and knees? Never ridden a hard tail before but thinking about picking up a 140mm Trek Roscoe. Appreciate your input ;)

Since early 2019. Yes regularly serviced

This isn't an option. Aramex don't help with the package until it's reached them, and bizarrely a lot of european import duties are paid cash to the delivery driver upon delivery. So i've had a few items return to sender as I couldn't use my euro aramex forwarding address as there was no way to pay duties. Lame!

@Wayne pudding Mol i've got the Rock Shox Monarch that came on the bike available if you need it.

Hey bud. FOX FLOAT DPS Factory Rear Shock Evol SV 3-Pos 7.25x1.75 2021 972-01-465 2021 - brand new shock. No knocking at the top it fits perfectly

Replaced the Rock Shox Monarch with a Fox Factory Float DPS

Nice! Where's it getting resprayed?

I want to add a dropper post - large frame Pyga Stage. What size do people usually go with? 100mm? I'm 1.79m I've replaced the 100mm SID world cup with a Fox 34 Factory SC 120mm. Very happy with it!

Just didn't fall in love with the Santa Cruz Tallboy 3. Here's a (new to me) PYGA Stage I took off the carbon rims and put on some SPANK 350's with Hope hubs.

Hi all! What’s the weight limit for the Deed Propel Carbon rims used on the Pyga Stage? Asking for a friend *cough*.

Hi there! Can anyone advise on the cost to service a rockshox reverb dropper? And where in JHB would be best? Thanks kindly Matt

Found one

Really interested in a PYGA!

Boutique or not, I absolutely love both brands!

Hi all, Sold my Specialized Camber (loved that bike), and was looking for a PYGA. As luck would have it I came across a Santa Cruz Tallboy3 and jumped on it (always loved Santa's, never thought i'd own one.) Being a bit pedantic, I put in a brand new Eagle XX1 black full groupset, brand new fox factory float rear shock, serviced and upgraded fox 34 factory fork, and I took the frame to Carbon Bike Repair for a custom respray (matte black with gloss black decals). The bike of my dreams, so why on earth am I still itching for a PYGA?

Dudes name is Komkommer on the hub. He’s selling that purple frame

Upgraded my 1x11 GX drivetrain for 1x12 XX1 Eagle with 34T at the front. Very happy with the ride!

How long does it last?

Picked up a 2016 Specialized Roubaix off eBay for a good deal My first venture from MTB to road bike. Also picked up a set of white Specialized Comp shoes for a good price. Would prefer black but couldn't say no to the price. I am possibly regretting that purchase... Also picked up a MET Rivale Qhubeka (Large) online only to realise my pip is a medium (I thought my MTB helmet was a large for some reason). It's here and brand new if anyone is interested. Here's to riding without baggies

Hi there, I purchased a second hand Specialized Roubaix 56cm off eBay for £700. Worked out to R11853. What can I expect to pay in customs/duties (excluding my shipping fee). Many thanks, Matt

Hey all - Matt here from Jozi. A good friend of mine got me into MTB about 6 months ago and I'm extremely greatful. Ride the Jozi spruit around 3x weekly and feel fitter than I have been in years! ????????

Just picked up a Fenix 3 HR Sapphire Bubdle for a steal on eBay

I got the HRM-Run bundle - Sapphire Fenix 3 HR but also comes with a strap if I want more HR accuracy.

On her way
