  1. There are tons of valid points in this discussion, great input from everyone thanks. Comparing prices isn't really even what gets to me. For me, personally I can only imagine that most of the 1st & 2nd gen alu PYGA riders like myself and other riders on the bikes mentioned won't be getting a new PYGA. Me for one, I prefer alu and it fits the pocket, so for all of us who helped build the brand to what it is now on alu bikes too it is kind of like thanks but please take this expensive carbon bike now, we are cutting off you guys from the brand who I think was probably the majority judging from ads and seeing what is around. I mean surely like mentioned alu costs a lot too and the shape of the bike and so on but at least just an alu Hyrax to show some form of like "Hey guys, you poor bastards we got you too." Damn... Imagine they make a alu Hyrax and call it Bastard they would make billions And for record, if I had to choose between a Santa Cruz (Whatever model and spec equal) or a PYGA Hyrax I would probably go Hyrax. There is just something about riding a local brand.
  2. So this isn't really a rant about bad service or anything like that. I don't know but I just can't help but feel disappointed by a brand I like and support. This isn't me attacking them or saying what they are doing is wrong in no way this is just sharing my feelings and thoughts. I think PYGA got a really good following in terms of people being on their bikes because of the Pascoe 140, OneTen29 and the 120, I mean there are a lot of these for sale and has been too throughout this year. Which also means good exposure for the brand. With this exposure comes a certain voice or image for the brand. I use to own a Pascoe 140 myself but when PYGA released the new range the Hyrax and Slackline I was excited and thought to myself "Hell yeah, can't wait to get one"... but honestly I don't think I ever will. Not because it is a bad bike or anything like that but because I feel like PYGA kind of went from having this amazing range of alu bikes which was for the weekend warrior everyday guy all way up to the crazy shredders, now I feel like it isn't the same anymore. I feel like PYGA moved me who owned a PYGA back then to the side and just focused on being elite or something, I guess they want to be up there with the brand like YETI or something. This isn't a bad thing these bikes are really good but just can't help but feel forgotten about, it just isn't the same feeling anymore like it was with the Pascoe, 29 and 120, I feel like some of the people who supported the brand back then kind of wasn't thought about and they are now only focusing on one certain group, if that makes sense? The brand must still be doing well if they only make carbon high-end bikes but I don't know how to really explain it, when I put my Pascoe next to a Hyrax it just isn't the same and that is what PYGA is to me. Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is what they have done or anything like that. Just as a previous owner of a PYGA sharing my thoughts. Short version: I am too poor for a new PYGA and this makes me sad.
  3. I cannot be happier, honestly I think the Genius is a super underrated bike.
  4. Hmmm, I just pulled the post itself up and up until it would lock and it does now but is a little too high for me. Does this mean the might be too long for my height?
  5. Syncros 2.0 came with my Scott Genius
  6. Hey guys! Okay, so today was brand new bike day for me. After the unboxing and getting the wheels and bars up, I wanted to release the dropper post back up it came dropped out of the box, after pressing the lever and the dropper going up I found out that it didn't want to lock once fully released. I can push it down without pressing the lever and at first I thought the cable was too tight turned the dial and now the dropper won't even stay dropper it is pretty much just a loose dropper post not locking anywhere, I tried the cable dial but no luck? Any suggestions?
  7. I don't understand how he deserved it? Could you please elaborate why he deserved it and then why anyone else deserves "it" and why buycycle deserved "it"? Because there is more than one party involved and neither of them are in the wrong, so please explain to me why? I think this answers my question in some way or another though.
  8. Not going to lie, this is pretty toxic some people hey just likes assuming the worst and can't wait to point it out.
  9. https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/dropper-posts Buy from their online shop?
  10. At this price point, just go with which bike you find the most attractive visually. Or if you want just look at the geometry of the bikes and take it from there? The Cotic Rocket is a bit longer than the Spez Enduro etc.
  11. May I ask who designed your CI? Logo etc?
  12. I have sold 2 bikes this year and it went fairly quickly and easily. People just want higher prices because everything has become more expensive so they need more money for their next purchase whatever it may be. Heck I got myself a Pyga the other day, like earlier this month and the guy came down with his price by 10k. I also think people are adding more "padding" to the price, so you think they are coming down but actually you are giving them more or less what they wanted.
  13. I am looking for a shorter post. The one I currently have on can't go all the way in, so the seat is a bit too high when fully extended. See picture if that helps.
  14. Yeah, I kind of thought of it this morning and the bike is at home and I am at work haha
  15. Yeah I saw that one, but that is the 2015 model, I have the 2014. But I am also thinking 30.9
  16. Pretty sure that is a 34mm fork you got there. If your Tallboy is a 2012 or later it came out with a 34mm. But judging from the stanchions it looks like a 34mm. Just look on the side of your fork, for a 32 or 34.
  17. Hey guys, Does anyone here know what the seatpost diameter is on the 2014 Pyga Pascoe 2014? I am currently looking at a new dropper but I am doubting myself with the diameter. Tried googling but couldn't find much. Pic of the bike in question just in case anyone was wondering and needed a pic for reference: Thanks
  18. Hey man, send me a message if you want me to help you out with a Wordpress website and what not.
  19. I agree. If you guys are looking at doing a new website, contact me and let's make something awesome.
  20. Big milestone for me, my first "good" bike rode a Giant Stance 2 before this, huge upgrade haven't gotten around to riding it picked it up quite late last night after work. But she will be sent hard this weekend!
  21. Hey guys, I am looking at selling my setup to fund my new bike as I am not using the PC anymore it is just standing there gathering dust. https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/solid-gaming-system.193841/ Check it out!
  22. Yeah I was thinking of also driving down there it is only 5 hours not bad at all. I was just hoping someone would be close enough to check it out for me, would also save a few bucks. I did arrange with the guy and he will keep the bike for me for 2 weeks so I will drive there next weekend and check it out. You guys don't know of anyone looking for a sweet Giant Trance 2 with a few upgrades?
