The Large frame comes in at 3.38Kgs. The original PYGA's came with the white 140mm Revelation up front, but it seems like most of the new ones will be coming with the new black 130mm Revelation with black stanchions. It's a beautiful looking fork and matches the black on the PYGA frame nicely.

If I can remember correctly it was a Medium. Unfortunately I didn't wright down the weight of the last build but it was definitely under 13kgs. I have a Large frame in the shop here, if you give me a few hours I will post a pic of it on the scale.

The original PYGA's are brushed aluminum. Like I said the NEW ones only come in green.

Ive built up a few PYGA's this year, If i can remember correctly a full XT build with a Revelation on the front and Crest wheelset wraped in Onza Canis 2.2's comes in at around 12.5kgs I will see if I wrote the exact weight down after the build when I get in to work tomorrow. We deal with Patrick from PYGA quite a bit, we are currently waiting for the next batch of frames to come into the country, this should be around the end of July. They sell very quickly so pre order is neccesary. The PYGA frame looks decievingly heavy but it is quite light for what it is. Our Facebook page has some pictures of the new PGYA frame, it only comes in green. www.facebook.com/BigWheelMTB

I'm changing out my big ring on my Rotor 3D cranks (MTB) and don't feel like paying over a grand for a new Rotor chainring. I was running a QRing but would prefer to switch to normal round rings. Any suggestions. Thank you.

If by sandy you mean loose sand, not really. Most of the surfaces are quite well compacted. The roots are all exposed, no attempt to cover them. There are some that come across the track at an angle which could be easy to wash your front out especially in one or two of the corners. A few sections of ascending singletrack which are covered in roots and takes a lot of power out of your legs to keep momentum. There are a few sections of new track dug out of the side of the bank which aren't to compact at the edge. The tight switchbacks don't have much braking erosion, so you can enter quite fast and slide your back out to line you up for the exit. It's an intense course with not many opportunity's for overtaking other than the one or two sections of jeep track or the start/finish straight. Most of the sand is more of a clay consistency as the area is quite wet most of the year. If it's wet when riding the roots and surfaces become very slippery.

The course is not to technical at the moment, More technical sections might be added closer to the time. It's 90% single track that is either going straight up or straight down, very few flat sections which allow for recovery. Lots of tight switchbacks which might hinder the 29ers a bit. Lots of roots in some sections.
