Send me a whatsapp: 0836508141 I'll give you my experience as someone who lives in George and does a fair amount of riding in the area... Cheers.

Just get a cheap vintage steel bike and ride wherever, whenever and however you like! Just kidding, get what suits your style and area best BUT also get the cheap steel bike... there's something incredibly liberating about having tons of fun on a bike that doesn't really cost anything...

Haha this cracks me up! Sorry Wayne, didn't recognise you but Im sure I did say hello... haha! Guys, looks are important yes but there's a whole other discussion being missed here. The Pyga Mobu is NEXT LEVEL, like the Stage was 5-6 years ago, this thing is that same leap into the future, mark my words. On looks, I haven't heard any other comments on first looks than "that is a beast" "looks so fast" "have never seen anything like it" and I'm aslo not a raw carbon fan but when you appreciate the fact that these layers have been done by HAND, by a single person right here in beautiful SA then you realise its an work of art. Patrick always said that the precision of carbon layers done right, should never be hidden... it should be something to be proud of. With all that in mind, the raw carbon has really grown on me and Im always super proud to show of this beast. Wayne, I'd love for you to see the artwork up close and personal... Please send me a whatsapp: 0836508141 For the record, our Mobu bikes Cape Epic race ready with burley tyres, tyre inserts, sealant, 2 bottle cages AND a dropper post as we would have lined up at Epic comes in at 11.3kg Without dropper (normal seatpost and seat) and tyre inserts, with lighter tyres and normal amount of sealant, pedals and 1 bottle cage my Mobu weighs in at 10.4kg (Race ready as I would ride at any other race) 10.4kg for a 120mm travel all round MONSTER that can out climb any 100mm bike out there, c'mon... I cant say much more than that so its up to you guys to find out for yourselfs...

Really was an epic ride. Would just like to point out that Mike Posthumus didn't upload his strava yet as he would be on top of the log. Hats off to everyone who completed that ride, Im really proud of that finishers medal!

Agree with you, we need to create a society where cheating is out of the question. Not going to be easy but its a dream and anything's possible! But I believe having a proactive discussion on this matter is much better than keeping quiet for a start. Regarding notifying SAIDS about suspicious athletes: thats been done in many cases but unfortunately just being tested and returning a negative doesn't mean your clean... These guys are clever, ask Lance. But their opportunities are getting fewer really fast with the Biological passport system so there is hope!
