  1. Cool man, I hope the build goes well for you.
  2. And this thread changes your life how Brogue? If you are going to be a dick take it out on people who know you and understand your silly comments and can ignore them. I'm trying to do something good for a mate. Go be a nusance somewhere else.
  3. Does anybody know of a pyga onten29 or any second hand pyga frame for sale, I have a friend in need of one.
  4. Pyga's, oneten29er and 650b frames on your in mashatu-Botswana, awesome trip. The oneten29 is the one I rode (on demo from Pat Morewood), I'm still waiting for my new frame from pyga.
  5. Thats great, thanks for the advice
  6. Thanks for all the advice guys I really appreciate it, will chat to the guys and Velolife and see what they suggest re tyres(might not be able to change as I have paid and they where on special) but thanks anyway, sorry for the overreaction Nico, I was obviously in a sensitive mood yesterday???? Another things: I am going cycling in Botswana and have been advised to take the oldest set of tyres I have as they will be thrown away afterwards due to the millions of thorns in the thuli block area, I don't have any old tubeless 29er tyres lying around, would anybody know how I could get hold of some for cheap or if I can buy new ones for cheap? Also any tips and tricks for making the tyres as tough as possible?
  7. Thanks pipsqueak, very keen to ride it.
  8. Tyga, thanks for the post and suggestions, I'll keep that in mind, I am a novice rider at the moment so doubt I'll feel too much of a difference at the start, but as I develop I'll be sure to take your advice, unless you suggest I ask them for the more aggressive tire first up? I was of the opinion the new oneten frames only come in green, it has been ordered for me direct from Patrick Morewood so I suppose I'll get what he gives me.
  9. Ya no to be honest iv only read good reviews on the oneten29, would anybody know where I could go to read more reviews and get tips on Pyga's and that kind of thing? Iv tried searching google and YouTube but not to many reviews, iv found maybe 4 or 5.
  10. Thanks allot Martin, great to here that from someone with such experience(I am a young inexperienced rider), one comment like that would never kill my excitement, just not the kind of smart comment one expects after writing such an enthusiastic post on a forum for Pyga enthusiasts. Nonetheless I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new steed. Hope to post some pictures soon.
  11. Shot for the comment bud. One way to kill someone's excitement.
  12.
