That top bottle cage has got to be seriously grippy to keep a full bottle in place when riding over bumpy terrain.

rode the hakahana Enduro with Pat on his stage max...full bottle didn't fall out once. 

 

this bike floats, it's really something cool to ride. Stiff and light, but feels so solid, not like some other marathon bikes.

Maybe I am not understanding your statement...so which one is the bad apple, the local entrepreneur part or the taiwan part?

A similarly priced 2016 Spez Camber would wipe the floor with this Pyga on an XCO course or marathon route. 

 

I dunno, I reckon they'd both just lay there on the ground where you left them...

What more could a person possibly want out of a bike than for it to be fun.  That should be the number one priority.

So so so so soooooooo very true!!!

Ha ha ha ha classic..that's the silliest thing.

Buy a bike because a machine of an athlete was riding it .. nothing to do with the athlete [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] .. can only be the bike.. wtf

Best rush out and buy a Scott xco bike cause nino is world champ.. and a giant Liv cause Prevot is world champ..

Horses for courses people.. you buy what appeals to you for the riding you intend to do..or enjoy doing. .

And on the marathon side better buy a Canyon because that's what Lakata ride or a merida cause that's what Gunn-rita dhal rides..both world champs

As I see the Spez vs Pyga debate:

 

If you're a pro and skinny guy (<75kg) then by all means get a Spez.

If you're more the type of typical proportions South African men seem to be, get a Pyga.

 

It's not always about what the guy that wins is using, but maybe about what the weekend warrior (ie masses) would be more comfortable / better etc on.

 

And that's why I vote Pyga.

Most high end frames are made in China / Taiwan, including Spez.

 

On a different note, one of my friends' baby was made in China, seems like everything gets made there these days.

Look at the brand of bike crossing the finish line in 1st place across the globe, then decide what is no.1, not some popularity contest based on the alternatives to the best ...

It's posts like these that tempts me into selling my stumpy and buying a no-name brand chinarello. What a dof argument...
