  1. Nice build... 4 of 55 should be in my possession Wednesday. Will post some pics. Tom
  2. I will be selling my 110 shortly, my Max is being built at the moment and I've been informed by SWMBO that I have to sell my current bike before the new one is allowed in the front door... Tom
  3. Daughters soon to be new Pyga. Formula 33 fork looks to be pretty decent so far.. SLX build with a single ring upfront and arch ex wheelset on hope hubs. Spaz command post dropper. Will last her a long time and she'll be able to upgrade when ready.
  4. Just added a OneTwenty to my collection.... I believe my new kitchen browny points will cover this purchase, and besides its for my daughter. Went with a Formula 33 Fork, never heard of this brand before today - CWC are ditching them for R3000. Tom
  5. Bibi What price are you doing on the MRP for a 29er? Cheers Tom
  6. My Stage Max cost so far: New kitchen R120000 New appliances R20000 Building alterations R30000 Paint R5000 New flooring R36000 Apple Ipad Mini R8000 So think again if any of you feel the R90k price for the bike is excessive! Tom
  7. Definitely a Tom riding one. Haven't met Dick or Harry yet. And Tom will also add a Stage to his Pyga collection shortly... Tom
  8. Just need my new Max to attach to this lot...
  9. Anyone here just getting the Stage frame when it arrives? If so, what build spec are you going with? Tom
  10. I blame it on the daughter. . She uses all the gas in the heater as fast as possible. . Woodstock Gas is directly down the road from the new shop, so I popped in for a look.. There is a slight hurdle. I can't get P+1 until the new kitchen is installed. . So this afternoon I was out getting quotes.
  11. I've done about 10000 kays and still loving it! And I might have mistakenly put my name down for a Max...
  12. 50mm on 140 fork and 710 bars. Have 780 bars waiting to be fitted. .. Tom
  13. I doubt the Pyga has such a low weight limit!
  14. Owner has been found it looks like - currently featuring on Mtb group rides Cape Town .Why ride alone? FB page..
  15. Anyone missing a Pyga? EmptyB just posted that there is one for sale at Cash Crusaders in Belleville..
  16. Did 1.55. Was definitely happy we did the short course today. Tom
  17. Lone Ranger - was that you on the Pyga at the Argus today? Tom
  18. My spud harvest on Sunday.
  19. I've had the internals of my Revelation replaced 4 times in a year - all of this was under warranty (and the service I received with the warranty claims was brilliant). I presume that there must have been a faulty batch along the way, as I've had no issue since last April. Because of the problems, my plan was to replace it with the Pike, but was shown the MRP and it looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Had a 70mm stem - it is very good, but I wanted a more relaxed riding position and the shorter stem definitely gives that and a lot more fun factor (I have come to the conclusion that I am not poll position material so will stay in my allocated postion at the back of every race, and absolutely enjoy every minute of it. ). Tom
  20. Welcome! Fork: Bibi introduced me to the MRP Stage fork. Being the pedantic person that I am, I have read every last review on it, and I will definitely be heading that way shortly from my Revelation. Tyres: shop around a bit - Spaz Butchers are incredible. They stick like S**t on the road, but do the trick on dirt and are pretty cheap. Seat Post: Your bike needs a dropper.... And so do you.. Stem: Your bike needs a shorter one. I've just dropped to a 50mm and the handling is unbelievable. Tom
  21. I'm still trying to figure out how some of the top riders achieve speeds of over 100 kays an hour on Table Mountain going uphill! It makes my piddly 8 kays an hour look completely wrong!
  22. Yup, I've done Epic, Tankwa, and a few others on mine! Will be doing Epic on it again next year. Busy training to do a sub 4 hour Argus on full fat tyres at the moment - so they're flippin good on the road too....
  23. Howdy If you're only doing the odd stage race and the rest is all for fun and mucking about, I'd head with the Pascoe.. Before I get shot by the rest of the crew on this thread, I'm on a OneTen and it is absolutely brilliant for the mix of short'ish rides and stage races that I do. Will be worth your while to try and get to one of the open days at Karkloof for a spin on all of them.. Tom
  24. In mine at Blockhouse yesterday. .
  25. Rammstein's cover of Stripped (original by DM). Had the joy of watching them perform in Manchester a couple of years back.
