Johny Bravo Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I agree that these bike don't have the same winning pedigree as a Specialized but does that mean Pat should give them away at cost price and not make a profit? Secondly please show me where I can get an S-Works Epic for less than R94 400.00S works Epic has a much better spec than this friend.
Spoke101 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 S works Epic has a much better spec than this friend. Apart from the Brain suspension what is much better?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 S works Epic has a much better spec than this friend.Not sure about that eh. Apart from the 35mm dropper and the carbon bar, not much difference. XX1 vs xtr, both RS1, raceface next sl crank vs xtr (point in favour of the pyga on that one) and then both have carbon rims... Apart from that and the SWAT system, there's just a case of sram vs shimano. Spoke101, Baaisikilist, RockCoach and 1 other 4
Baaisikilist Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Morewood's are best know for the gravity side, going downhill FAST. GSoooo, what I'm getting here is that you're a fan...?
awesme Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 B Yes, I have one of his bikes, and will be getting a 2nd. G Soooo, what I'm getting here is that you're a fan...? Tatt 1

XX1, Next SL Crank, KMC chain, Next carbon bar & seatpost are all lighter and better in my opinion.The Pyga frame and Rims aren't as light but are stronger than the Spez frame and Rovals. Weights should be around the same: kulhavy's bike with XX1 is 10.4kg and Pat's Pyga is currently 10.7kg but I'm not sure of bar, seatpost, saddle, stem and tyres. If memory serves the Epic RRP: is +- R130k Edit: Oh and that's running proper tyres not super lightweight S-Works fast track's. Edited June 6, 2015 by Spoke101 Hairy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Spoke101 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 No, "I am genuinely curious..." me to.Ignorance is bliss.

Ryanpmb Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 So right there, that is me out of this argument. No proof to back that.It's hardly an argument with the only informative comments and contributions coming from Spoke101 and El Capitan... Johny Bravo 1
Johny Bravo Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 It's hardly an argument with the only informative comments and contributions coming from Spoke101 and El Capitan...True, but this was never a vs thread. The Pyga is great looking, BUT, none of us have ridden it. Where almost everyone has ridden a Epic.
Ryanpmb Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) True, but this was never a vs thread. The Pyga is great looking, BUT, none of us have ridden it. Where almost everyone has ridden a Epic.I've ridden a Max. Never ridden an Epic. Colour me alternative. Edited June 6, 2015 by Ryanpmb RockCoach and Iwan Kemp 2
Johny Bravo Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I've ridden the Max. Never ridden an Epic. Colour me alternative.Thats quite alternative, not having ridden the most popular marathon bike in SA. Maybe go try it sometime, it really is quite nice. First available demo day I wil go ride the Pyga. For sure. Open minded. nonky 1
SiriS Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Means exactly what i said, s-works followers in the thousands, so theres more than enough people who can afford this bike. But changing the minds of those followers might be Pyga's first problem.Wasn't the word "copy" superfluous?
