Bad blood: Morewood Bikes and PYGA Industries

How to damage your brand with an angry keyboard...

Correct.

So the nickname rumour is BS? Cool. Good to know that there's another, more suitable reason (IMO)

Looks like something that would roll straight out of Momsen's warehouse.

PYGA = roughly translated as "Our friend Patrick"

 

Name given to him by the factories workers/contacts when he started talking to them, before the launch of Pyga, which had to the company being named Pyga.

This gives me that same gril I get when I see Saffas being interviewed on telly. It just doesnt fit.

 

Maybe these okes need to have a few brandies and see who can do the longest skid and settle this once and for all.

 

Mingewoond!

Lol. This is the one I'd seen / heard.

 

S'pose we'll never know...

I can confirm, had this confirmed by Pat himself as the truth.

looks like a real budget build / spec, MW aiming at mass market sales?

And no internal Dropper Routing on a new design bike .... not very clever, especially if it is a HT, so much easier to actually run internal dropper vs a duallie.

Its got 1x11 and a dropper. And hopefully a slackish head angle. Hardly a budget build a la Momsen Al 29 surely? I'd ride that thing!

 

In fact I will start saving for one now!

[Hairy]

Just let me state, I really liked my previous Shova and the very brief time I had on the Mbuzi .... just a little let down so far with what is being released by MW via social media.

11 spd NX yes.... and droppers are rather cheap items to OEM ... and that RS fork?

Hairy, you have become a nit picker since you "upgraded" eh? 

 

All I can say to your 'picking is it all depends on the price which we don't know yet. My bet is if they are doing them en masse the price will be better than Morewoods of old. They say they have various builds anyway so wah!
