SwissVan Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 The majority of people who bought into the morewood philosophy did so because of Pat's passion for what HE built over many years, with all frames being welded here by hand. Since he was pushed out of Morewood bikes, and has started PYGA, the passion and service has slowly dwindled within Morewood bikes, to the point that they now by all accounts just don't care anymore. Just ask anyone who has needed to get a part from them or had a service oriented request or warranty query. The spark is gone. It's now at PYGA. Now PYGA (pat) is now producing beautiful bikes - you can see the same design philosophy in the 2 companies if you have a look at the sukuma / jabula and then the 110 29er and 140 650b. So its clear that what Morewood are lacking in spirit is actually Pat... Ahhh i was not aware that Patrick was pushed out...by who?
Spokey Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Zula fan, from the PM days, like the Pyga big time, varsity fees stand in the way of one of those!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Ahhh i was not aware that Patrick was pushed out...by who?I don't know the actual story, but it wasn't happy partings. I think RyanPMB may know quite a bit more htan me.
Roshambo Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Had my frame redone end of last year. There were some delays involved, but Fabien was great at keeping me informed and they did a great job

There were some delays involved, but Fabien was great at keeping me informed and they did a great job That's good to hear. Never good to see a once great brand dwindle away. I hope they keep it together. There are still a huge amount of Morewood fans.

Dirkitech Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 of course it looks like a spaz epic, it is black and has a front and rear triangle dude!you just described the generic dual sus bike genius
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 you just described the generic dual sus bike geniusIt seems sarcasm is lost on you at the moment...
Ryanpmb Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 you just described the generic dual sus bike genius Doh! Fail.

Hairy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 you just described the generic dual sus bike geniusNo, the Scott Genius is a little different and don't come in full black on black

Two great bikes, but two VERY different suspension designs. And since suspension design is something Pat is, um, a little fastidious about it's pretty safe to say it's far from a copy of the Jet9.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 The front triangle looks VERY MUCH the same 1.JPG2.JPGja, and? There are only so many ways you can design a front triangle if you want to keep the standover height low, and yet retain strength in the seat tube - a brace is necessary. The down tube is very different, as is the BB shell, rear suspension design and so on. Niner has the lower link under the BB, Pyga has no lower link at all...
