Not exactly a good looking bike, actually quite fugly compared to the pyga 650b or even the giant.

I have the 800 I don't even use half the functions and I also thought it was way too big. If I had to do it again il prob buy the 510, it covers all my requirements as a cyclist, although I do like the gear indicator on the 1000, The tex t and call feature...hmmm I'm not sure it's such a good idea, would it not be a risky distraction.

I have a Scott 10, who can I verify its authenticity with.

I think we need to guard against any petty unpleasant experience being the justification to 'expose' lbs as offering poor service or not customer focused but rather money focused. Admin needs to have very strict systems in place to manage these types of comments or the hub will lose its credibility. I'm not defending the store in question but consider these alternative perspectives; To most cyclists Technical details are very important so if they do not receive these from the lbs when considering a new purchase they would go to one that does offer the details. Buying second hand rather than new - yes there are many pros and cons of each and really it's very subjective, so we may not agree with a different position regarding this but are we not arrogant to not accept this differing view. You don't mention your relationship to the prospective buyer, 1. if a friend then why go into an lbs if you going to buy second hand in any case; would you expect a different response from a BMW salesman if you told him you going to buy a car off Gumtree will they also be Compared to the government. 2. If he wasn't a friend, was it your position to discuss the hub. I remember the fable of 'Chicken little and the sky falling on her head' when I read this post.

Hi Meezo The guys responsible for consciously selling fakes and jeopardizing the lives of their consumers..agreed they will need to face the consequences of their actions..it's the lives of the many innocent people indirectly linked to Cycle Science caught up in the aftermath that I empathise with

Great review Martin

I watched carte blanche and I felt really sorry for these guys.. Their worlds as they currently know them are going to be totally destroyed..people working for them too.. Their business without a doubt is going to go down in flames all suppliers are going to question their integrity and credit limits/terms are going to be reviewed..their families and the lives of many innocent people associated with cycle science either directly or indirectly are going to be adversely affected.. Look I have been following the comments and realize the need to expose the store for misleading and defrauding their customers..but for many of us on the hub in a month this will be forgotten while many innocent will only begin to live the true extent of the aftermath. So please spare a thought for them

Hey man sorry to hear this, we will keep a look out for the bike, please ask him to send our more details like the Pyga serial number

Oh and don't forget to verify authenticity

If I was a cricket supporter, il ask for the ecb management resignation. I may not be a fan of KP attitude but you can't drop your best batsman for a World Cup, his presence couldn't add to the woes of the team, now who have they got to blame?

What would the financial savings be considering the effort, I recall my first few rides with non ust tyres with slime the burps has me carrying my bike to the car vowed to never go thru that again.. Stan's cost R30 per wheel excluding new tyres at lbs haven't looked back since then..that was 1,5 years ago. Total cost R60. Lets look at economic viability - income 10k per month avar R500 per day over 20 days per month or R50 per hour if i10 hrs in a day t take u 1 hour to mix and fill air u will save R10 excluding costs of raw materials. So it actually costs more in long run as windolene alone is around R15. Y Not worth it rather go ride your bike for at hour of effort.

I'm sorry IMHO this is wrong and unwarranted; your comments in many previous posts before has led me to respect your opinion and reviews on bikes etc but this view posted above has me questioning your credibility and perspectives. yes i agree with the need need to get both sides however there is very little reason or insufficient information shared for you to question the integrity of the Andrew's post, and the basis being that he bought 2 x90k bikes without haggling or confirming the legitimacy of goods and oh not to forget very important on this forum, that a person needs to have at least 10 000 posts first. The unfortunate reality is there is a huge amount of trust imparted by us on the reputation of these brands through legitimate dealers, e.g. I wouldn't go into the JOC dealer in Cape Town and look at their Piña with the checklist above I would assume it has already been checked and ratified by the agents, ASG in this case, allowing them distribution rights of their brands just as I'd have confidence to purchase a Rolex at the Waterfront vs Mowbray taxi rank. Yes I may be somewhat naive in my approach by giving people the benefit of the doubt - to me this is a post informing us potential consumers of Cycle Science Broad acres the dangers of implicit trust as experienced by Andrew. Please do not feel the need to justify your comments as you have done in subsequent posts as these are mere humble opinions from a member with sub 1000 posts.

Wtf Is this script meant for a Nigerian comedian.

I have a velotex jacket with some fancy high tec fabricate allows breathing but moisture is taken off the skin, really great water proof surface as well.

Hi Great article, please keep us further informed will look for your articles everyday. Well done on your achievements thus far. Enjoy and be safe

Post pics once you receive

Welcome bro

Nice one well done bogus. Enjoy Wayne

Well done to you guys for your efforts to save the day.

Dawels if u look at new components 9k for full xt gruppo, 5500 for arch ex wheels, 5700 for fork 2k for seat, stems and bars. 22k for all new top end components, I'm sure u can neg a good deal for pyga frame which will bring yo within 40k budget. Stumpy if you spec similarly will not cost less despite. Initial lower cost.

Get well soon. This is becoming ridiculous the amount of cyclists injured on our roads.

Hi I understand the diff between a1k and 2k helmet is weight rather than actual additional safety benefits. Having said that I have only 1 head and I will do anything to protect it hence bought the best helmets I could afford. I had a giro atmos great helmet now have spez prevail for the rd and a fox 661 for the mountain, these are both fantastic helmets and highly recommended. I have seen the POC which looks pretty interesting.

Hi Dawels I can't comment on the spez I too have a Pyga 110 and it is the most amazing bike Iv ever ridden. Read the comments on the Pyga page and other owners experiences and this may give you an Indication of what you too can expect. Granted it may not be the lightest carbon vs alu etc,patric morewoods bikes are renowned for their suspensions and with the lower centre of gravity the 'extra' weight is least felt. Good luck with your eventual decision, my only advice is rather wait for the bike you decide don't rush for what is easily available, you don't want any regrets.

Hi I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, I have a beautiful rd bike tht is becoming more of a conversation piece when I have guests rather thn fr cycling, reason being I am **** scared to venture onto our rd unless it's in a control race environment. With the combinationof increase in bike jacking and total disregard for cyclist presence on our rds resulting in accidents, my passion may lead to my death or injury, a isk I'm not prepared to take. Get well soon young guns; unless there are changes to the authorities approach to cyclist accidents by motorists, there are going to be more incidents where cyclists response to motorists accidents or near accidents are going to turn violent due their frustration.

Ha ha I hear you but its the vibe with the free chockies and the girls and local people generally in happy mood that was missed. Come on snickers create the a vibe it's. Not abt filling the tour organizers coffers.
