Pikey Posted January 16, 2015 Share Something about owning a pyga that just makes you feel like thrashing it every time you swing a leg over it... Wish I had bought the 110 instead of the pascoe,but purely that like the op I still want to do distance. I know I can do it on the pascoe,but have red mist syndrome ???? . And you can't build a pyga for R40k...even with some 2nd hand parts. Oh yea pyga all the way and am sure I' not pyga...I mean biased ????

Danger Dassie Posted January 16, 2015 Share Ridden both extensively, and have to say it's a tough choice. The pro with Camber is that it pretty much comes stock standard and ready to rail your trails. The Pyga is more of a bespoke build that you take your time with, which in itself is a rewarding process. Ultimately though in reality you can't really go wrong with either. I get the feeling that you know that but you're wrestling with the emotional choice of what to go for.Unfortunately I can't tell you what I'd go for because that wouldn't be right and honestly if I were in your fortunate position I'd feel the same really. You need to sit down and feel for yourself which one tugs at the ol heart strings, after that the first ride will resolve any buyers remorse.

Good luckSo true,if you buy what everyone else likes or raves about,and it's not the one your heart really desires ,you'll always look at the other and wonder. Good advice ...

Had a gander at one yesterday and was thinking it would look very good in my entrance hall next to my 110.. And I'm an ex Camber 26, 650 (converted my 26), and momentarily 29 owner. In then end the bike you climb on and feel like you've been riding for the last 5 years is the bike you should go with. Tom Pikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trail - er - park Posted January 16, 2015 Share Specialized Stumpjumper fsr is even better . The OP should also consider who the OWNERS of the steeds are that he will invariably interact with ...... a buncha SPAZ's .... or some PIE dude loonies ...... Surely that could influence the purchase decision ..... I can only speak to my experience of the PYGArians I have met ..... dude, be scared ....

Pyga!!!!!! That Pyga will be just as fast as the Spez and going down even faster.My bit of advise. EmptyB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankG Posted January 16, 2015 Share That Pyga will be just as fast as the Spez and going down even faster..True fact. I once beat Greg Minnaar on a downhill because he was on a Spez and I a Pyga. Pyga is definitely faster downhill. Edited January 16, 2015 by discostu trail - er - park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
