Like what you did there with the cable tie at the rear shock. If it's not patent might just try it ????

Like all ASG events it will now become heavily priced and mostly aimed at okes riding their overly serviced and overly price bikes twice a year, completely cutting out the "normal" MTB folk.

Nr 1 SA rider on UCI rankings as well. Buys 30th, Reid 42nd I think.

Wait till you have to warranty it. ENDLESS run-arounds. Rather buy a PYGA. Cooler brand as well.

Ladies didn't qualify

So they took away a R250 one day event, which I actually enjoyed, and replaced it with a R5000 2 day event. Mmmmm. ZAR's doing the talking maybe?

Couldn't agree more @puncheur.

Just spent the money and join the enlightened bunch. It's like watching 7de Laan on SABC 3 and being quit content with it and then all of a sudden someone hands you a DSTV remote.

Comparing Falke sucks to Versus socks?! That's just wrong!!!! And yip, they are that MUCH better.

Agree. Should be quit interesting. But saw them racing the Epic last year, they were in a class of their own. SUPER strong.

That's probably why our friends at Cycling South Africa has not made one single comment about this. Tail wagging the dog?

Certain pro's using the TUE application process as a scapegoat, is just a way of them trying to manipulate the system and hide obvious dubious practices. I was a competitive track cyclist attending World Champs for years (not saying this to drop names, simply to illustrate I have experience in this matter). And I ALWAYS knew what was in the meds I was taking if I were to get sick. And if you didn't, you went without it. Because of my asthma I had to apply for a TUE every year, VENTEZE was on the prohibited list untill 2012 and then removed, and I did not compete if I did not have that TUE in my posession. I saw a posting about the Drugfree Sports online medicine check. That was helpfull, but not always that thorough, BUT Drugfree Sport has a handbook they give out every year in January. FREE OF CHARGE with EVERY LAST medicine known to mankind in there. And if still in doubt, they have a HOTLINE you can phone for assistance if you still aren't sure. These are things that I as a competitive amateur knew by hart and followed to the letter. More so if you are a pro and making a living out of cycling. It's your job, your obligation to abide by the rules, set out very clearly. The point I am trying to make is: certain pro's using the excuse of "I accidentally got this banned masking agent in my sample.....", for THREE months nogal, that's just plain absurd and frankly a slap in every clean cyclist out there's face. The thing is, I get the idea there are more to follow.

Bad experience with warranty claim. First had all sorts of stipulations I had to adhere to. Met all of them. Then started the emails and phonecalls saga. Then all sorts of red tape, in the end took my money and spent it on someone who are willing to honour there service agreements. They wont see my money again.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Pyga 110 owner it is then. Mind was probably made up, just needed that final push.

Good day everyone, I am in the market for a new bike a having read through most of the pages in this forum, have one question. I rode the Epic on an Anthem and found it a really capable bike, but it just doesn't have that excitement factor. Obviously the Pyga 110 frameset weight is much more than a carbon frame would be. What difference does that make when I intend using the bike for stage races? The idea is to spec the bike with Crest wheels and XO1 components. Would really appreciate it if guys who have used the Pyga for stage races to give some insight. PS: I will NOT be going for podiums.
