Iwan Kemp Posted May 21, 2012 Share I think we will have to wait and see then , But what do you care Crow!You have a BAD ASS Ibis N+1... PYGA could therefore just improve on their PR ... a simple reply email to the LBS would be the way to do things one would thinkTrue of so many companies. My LBS even said they will do a straight transaction in order for PYGA to still make the same amount of profit on it, but the at least they can do the sale + the build.

Iwan Kemp Posted May 21, 2012 Share Your LBS has the right idea there! They are champs. When we sat down to discuss my SL-R's build kit and we realized we weren't gonna get some of the stuff locally they ordered it from CRC for me! How's THAT?! Was considering a OneTen + HD, but in the end decided to go with the SL-R. Would still like to have a go at one though. I'm sure it will be a ripper of a ride and IMO it's one of the best looking 29ers out there. Let's wait and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJVDM Posted May 29, 2012 Share So, the hype on the Pyga got to me as well, but.... seems no full bikes are available and one needs to build the bike yourself. What would be the recommendation for a mid price Pyga with reasonable weight? eg i dont want to spend 100K to build a superlight bike, thinking more in the range of 30K or slightly above. I weigh 100kg's (soon to be 90 and need some advice from the experts on parts to use eg groupset / wheels ect i think XTR / XX groupset might be too pricy?? (im a shimano fan and prefer a XT breaking system) So far ive come up with: Frame = 16,000Groupset XT = 8,000Wheels (Shimano XT) = 3,800Stem = 600Saddle = 800Bars = 700Seatclamp = 150Seat post = 850Tyres = 1200Fork RockShox SID World Cup Dual Air 2011 = 7,500Pedals XT = 700 The pricing on stem/saddle/bars/seatclamp/seatpost are pure estimates on average type items Total = 40,250 which is getting a bit out of hand for my budget. The mag priced the Pyga at 31K but not sure how they managed that Edited May 29, 2012 by CJVDM TheV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYGA1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share You need a 120mm travel fork for the Pyga, the Sid is only 100mm travel. I think Pyga are offering a limited number of complete bikes you can contact them via the website. Costs get out of hand quickly, I'm building everything from my 26 inch bike over to the Pyga apart from fork and wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted May 29, 2012 Share It almost looks like it might be more cost effective to buy a complete bike (ht) and build the parts over to the Pyga frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PYGA1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share I've done this calculation a hundred times already and I'm never satisfied!So far Full xt with mediocre wheels a front runner Building over Hope X2 brakes and XO group set. Have bought a Fox Talas and am building wheels with Mavic rims and Hope hubs, will also sell my 26 inch fork and wheels and frame, thankfully. If I had to start from scratch I'd be stuffed.

I see the ZTR Race Gold (CWC) might not hold my weight but im not sure whether the Shimano XT Wheels have the right setup eg they have quick release skewers and not sure what the Pyga back triangle takes.

Race gold on that bike will kinda defeat the object of a PYGA 29er. It's meant and build to be ridden HARD. Crest will be the minimum rim weight / diameter/ spec I would recommend to do that bike justice. Rear axle is a X12 with 142mm width meaning you'll need a 12x142mm hub or one that can run 12x142mm with adapters or end caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJVDM Posted May 30, 2012 Share Ok, just to confirm then. i am no racing snake but planning to do some multi day events eg sani2c. Would the Pyga be optimal for thator should i go for a more conventional setup? from my understandng the Pyga can be raced as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
