RockCoach Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 We will have stock of these shirts soon. Currently just have a few samples. We have sold a number of 2014 Pyga frames this year. But there are none left until we get the new stock - sometime between Feb and March apparently.
MarcBurger Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Just got my hands on a beautiful 120 (thanks Trailhead), now in the process of part shopping. Would like some confirmation/advice. Seeing that I'm going from a full 80mm xc bike, I'm looking at a building a trail capable yet stage race-happy bike. Semi weight concious, but not crucial. Not blowing the bank, but not looking for sacrilegious junk.So far the idea is: Frame: Pyga OneTwenty 650b (obviously) Fork: RS Revelation RL Groupset: Mix XT/SLX Crank: SLX or XT Brakes: SLX (unless a great XT deal comes along, or Sram guide R/RS if I can find some inexpensively) Bars+Stem: no clue, probably Spank Seatpost: also no clue, will get dropper one day $$ Wheels: Either... Easton Vice XLT (look hot, know nothing about them other than they're similar to Havens, 1750g)WTB Frequency i23 on Hope Hubs (Trailhead suggestion. bomb-proof, not too heavy. look meh)ZTR Arch EX on Hope Hubs (light, look decent, not sure on rim durability and tubeless hassle)American Classic Wide Lightning (Look great, Super light, not sure on durability and I read that the freebody isn't amazing)Any opinion/advice/better option ideas would be appreciated

Haven't had a chance to build yet, but pricing was very reasonable when compared to other AM equipment (eg Spank). Also gets good reviews and looks really solid. Available online directly from the distributor www.performancebikes.co.za. Great support so far. Delivered within two days of placing order, answered e-mail queries within 24 hours.

trail - er - park Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I can second Funn fatboy, really cool bar, have it on all 3 of my bikesOh yes! I would absolutely endorse FUNN goodies. Have 2 x Fatboy bars, a Fatboy Chameleon bar, a Funduro stem, a Strippa stem ... all top class quality. Spank is excellent and definitely more bling but the FUNN bits are on par. EmptyB 1

Wider & stronger, for little penalty ito weight. AC have sorted their freehub issues, apparently. Durability is good, again, reportedly - according to fora I have perused. trail - er - park and Bizkit031 2
Lone_Ranger Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Am one of the FUNN DealersGot stock Let me know if you need a FatBoy Bar, FunnDuro or Strippa AM/Enduro stemsPM meWas wondering who stocked Funn in Cape Town. Will give you a call next time I'm in the market for some Funn.
Guest Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I will recommend using an eyeleted rim , that spoke /nipple movement is enough as is and ya don't want constant headaches (short & longterm) of nipples snapping. There is reason eyeleted hoops last longer and spokes/nipples have a longer lifespan.
Guest Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Current configI look forward to seeing how the Vittoria WTS setup holds-up
flowCountry Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I designed a front derailleur mount cover in a PYGA design, so you can make your 1x drivetrains look even better! You can get one here in every colour if you're interessted. https://www.shapeways.com/product/A9XNKZWNN/pyga-high-direct-mount-cover?key=1704869369b1d1d9c976ab36ac0a3fcd Let me know if you like them Edited January 22, 2015 by flowCountry Brett and mafutha 2
