Ryanpmb Posted January 26, 2016 Share Yep, also see it that happening. But then if Pat is involved, why would help design something that will compete with his stableEish - reading the thread backwards here catching up on comments lol. Did I miss were his involvement was mentioned. Pat is friends with Victor and thus the ViPa co lab. Not so much with Carter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 26, 2016 Share Yep, also see it that happening. But then if Pat is involved, why would help design something that will compete with his stablePat not involved, afaik. The "suspension designed by Pat" thing was a tongue in cheek chirp regarding the new bikes. Seeing as the only bikes that Morewood had were designed by him, and the ViPa was also his suspension design, the "collaborative effort" could in fact be using Pat's ViPa design to give them a "new suspension design" - therefore Morewood, still designed by Pat. Probably nowhere near the truth, but still funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 26, 2016 Share Ja look, I'll gladly ride a bike with deore drivetrain and a cheapish wheelset if they can just get the suspension right. A Pike RC or new 34. Imagine they partner with Rapidé for components and rims...THIS. So much this. Suspension spec IMO far outweighs XT / SLX etc. Ridden Deore for aaaages before this and my previous bike, and nowt wrong with it at all. Rapide are cheap as chips. And very good quality as well...

A new coat of paint won't cut it me thinks. markmad, NicoBoshoff, Eddy Gordo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbelBuys Posted January 26, 2016 Share now I would love to see the Shova come back as a 27.5 trail ripping single pivot machine. think longer TTslacker HA & steeper ST angleallow for taper head tubestealth dropper routingthru axel rear - with a 'new style' swingarm like the Zula / Izimu.Threaded BB Longer shock / stroke length (Lower leverage ratio) damned I am getting excited just typing this.

Skott5 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Meh .... Much ado about nothing IMO.All that's left of Morewood is the name.If you want a Morewood engineered bike then buy a PYGA. rouxtjie, Thermophage and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted January 26, 2016 Share Meh .... Much ado about nothing IMO.All that's left of Morewood is the name.If you want a Morewood engineered bike then buy a PYGA. I didn't want to say it but its my sentiment too. That being said, I only wish success for the lads at morewood. They really will have to think out of the box...and not along the lines of competing with PYGA Hairy, Ryanpmb, popcorn_skollie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much ado about nothing IMO.All that's left of Morewood is the name.If you want a Morewood engineered bike then buy a PYGA.I think there'll be a few people camping on this side of the fence. Could be the harsh reality. I hope they do come right though. Nothing like some healthy competition... They used to be a pretty forward thinking operation. Sure Pat was involved, but so were others. I'm going to sit ON the fence for a while with this one. Hairy, Danger Dassie and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Then I only did a test ride on the Mbuzi and had a short spell of owning one, but it was a bike that liked to have fun. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
