Fellow Pygaphiles - does anyone have any recommendations for a downtube (and general undercarriage) protector? I'm looking to keep paint chips and scratches to a minimum. 

Cheers

Guys, 

 

Looking to get a new bike soon. Currently on a Tallboy C, but want a longer travel trail bike.

Been looking at the Oneten with 130 Revelation or Onetwenty with 140 Revelation. (Large frame - 179cm height and inseam 77cm)

 

Questions:

1. I'm not the greatest climber, and therein lies my dilemma. I know the 650 will be better on the tight technical downs, but how does it handle climbs?

2. Frame size, currently on a large - 179cm height and inseam 77cm?

3. What your views on the new 2016 Stumpy 29er, 135 in the back, similar to the Stage Max?

 

Test road a mates Oneten down Conters lower level blue DH and it was amazing, felt very nimble and well planted.

 

So many choices!

If you can go Stage MAX do it ;)

Max frame is around R38k. With the Rand being all over the place it might have changed a bit...

 

Rest of build is up to you, but you're looking at somewhere between R75k and R100k in total. 

 

A 110 build shouldn't be more than R40k if you shop around for parts.

Thanks Tom. Bit rich for me, will look in the 110 range then.
