Guest Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Just in http://flowmountainbike.com/tests/tested-pyga-oneforty650/ "Admittedly the market for high-end aluminium bikes isn’t what it once was as carbon becomes increasingly prevalent, but the Pyga Oneforty 650 is targeted at a specific type of rider, not the mass market. With its robust build, perfect all-mountain geometry and suspension that just gets better the harder you ride, it’s a bike for those who prioritise confidence and downhill performance over low weight and glitz. Its practical construction will keep you out of the workshop too, and on the trails more, which is always a plus. While the frame-only availability will be an obstacle for some, if you’ve got a dream all-mountain build in mind, the Pyga Oneforty is the ideal workhorse to make it happen."

But so far I reckon it really is THAT good.
Hairy Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 My #ENDURO WANNABE ride with only 140mm travel front and back and has no slacker than slack HA ..... but what a great ride this bike is proving to be. Dirty pics from this mornings ride.

Hairy Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Good to see someone still running 3 up front.The bike came like that, so I will ride it till it is kaput! I must say, the big ring is nice to have on the ST going down!

banna Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 You'll be glad to know I've purchased a roadie bike so no more slicks on the Tracer.Hmm....talking about 29'rs and so on, what ever happened to your 29'r Tracer build Oh mega? Still on the cards?
Guest Omega Man Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Hmm....talking about 29'rs and so on, what ever happened to your 29'r Tracer build Oh mega? Still on the cards?There have been some significant lifestyle changes I've made recently forcing the build to be put on hold.
banna Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 There have been some significant lifestyle changes I've made recently forcing the build to be put on hold. Ah ok. Saw a really cool green 29'r Tracer at JP's shop the other day, and remembered about your one. O well, good to see you branching out into other biking disciplines. You closet roadie you.
