First Look: Pyga Stage MX and Plus Five chain line concept

[Hairy]

makes me think of that "other" chap on the Hubs Sukuma Colour scheme ... and it works, lovely looking bike

[Matchstix]

Wonder what the weight of the frame will be. . .

[Frosty]

I notice the comment about an improved, straighter, chain line.

 

I'm not an expert on this subject but surely a spacer would partially resolve this? 
The freehub body is the same size for 8/9/10 speed and the cassette has thinner rings on 10 vs 8 & 9.

Or, does adding a spacer push the crank and pedal further right compared to the non-drive side and therefore affect something else I have no idea about.

The problem is not right, it's left. On most setups, the chainring is too far right.

 

Edit: Oops, said "crank" instead of "chainring".

You're right - I misread the chainline.

49mm to 44mm

This is a great looking bike, and the fact that it can take up to 130mm travel fork makes it very versatile as well.

 

The "two bottles in front triangle" is more important to marathon riders than what most manufacturers think, and it will definitely boost the sales of this model. Scott, Momsen and the other popular marathon brands will have to catch up in this department.

 

Now we just need to wait for the armchair experts to say that this bike is a Niner copy, it is Friday after all.

saw one in the flesh earlier today - looks sweet I must say.

Geometry sounds similar to the 110?

...You didn't...!   

[Johny Bravo]

Must say, stunning machine. I would buy one.

Plus 5 is the same conceptually as Cannondale offset of 6mm. Great idea but you can't patent something that was done before you. Admittedly the new scalpel has not been launched yet so this is the first full susser with an offset rear triangle.

 

Now the the important thing is when and how much?

[awesme]

The when... not to long, the how much, don't ask, just do
I know both answers but not sure I can share.

Frameset should retail around 35k, so in the same range as the Swift. 

 

Might be time to upgrade the Spaz to real bike.

mooi bly maar mooi....demmit. I can feel an itch starting that will cost me plenty.
