You make a very good point... Sure Pyga is a small operation somewhere in howick(flippen hipster jol )...but your weakness is sometimes your strength. They have a presence at all the big stage races in SA...Patrick himself wrenching and helping out, should you run into issues, the man is there ready to help out or give advice...do the big brands have this...NO You can speak directly to the guy that designed your frame, ask about potential kit and how it will work with your frame....do the big brands offer this service...NO Their bikes are designed for SA...now this might not sound like a biggie but consider this, you will probably do all of your riding in your lifetime here in SA, why not buy a bike that was designed for our specific and quite unique mtb culture.... Now when it comes to warranties, who would you like to deal with, the guy that put his name on the frame or a rep/agent.... Being small means you are agile, agile when it comes to all of the above.. And then lastly and this is very IMPORTANT, their videos are cool Being small is good in this case, and one of the reasons I bought one.
