I am glad you putting the "round tuit" money to good use. Enjoy it. Edited May 18, 2021 by Long Wheel Base Stretched@Birth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted May 18, 2021 Share I've been wanting to play around with Silverback's Scarosso aero bike ever since I first saw it. It was released a little while ago and one finally arrived. I'll be testing it before I offer it to my customers but so far it looks on the money! gummibear, Escapee.., ACE Cycles and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It looks like a different colour/pattern?) I quite like the result either way. This is probably what Look wanted that horrendous older model 795 to look like at the front end...

This is probably what Look wanted that horrendous older model 795 to look like at the front end... It is part of the structure but has been given a matt black painting - I guess to hide where the carbon lay up gets really messy there. It does limit the turning of the bars and there is already a mark on the other side where the stem has contacted the top edge of the raised section. I really like it but a short torso/long leg guy like me needs the spacers under the stem. A long torso/short legged physique can probably run without the spacers and that would make for a pretty awesome integrated look! Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted May 25, 2021 Share So after chasing the dragon trying to build the perfect bike for me I’ve done a full 360 3 bikes, a long thread. Some lost money and a lot of aggravation mixed with fun I’m back where I started There are some colour issues I need to deal with like brake hoses but I had no alternatives for these brakes - black hoses on order as well as new seatpost and bars to dip the weight well below it’s current 11kgs with pedals cages, garmin mounts and sealant Milosh, gummibear, Maknash and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: this looks so much nicer than the 'dale version of it though. the colours salso suit it much better imo. Edited May 25, 2021 by MORNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: this looks so much nicer than the 'dale version of it though. the colours salso suit it much better imo. I got my money back on the Unicorn after waiting 2 years. I then got in touch with Pat directly, left 2 requests on their website and eventually gave up. I called Louis from Knipe Racing in Durbanville who knows Pyga's well and he sold me his demo for a very decent price Was surprised by the apathy from Pyga and my previous experiences (Unicorn Mobu apart) had always been good I am immediately comfortable and happy on this bike ChrisF, MORNE and Wannabe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
