Gavster229 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 personally i prefer to pay the little extra and get the better quality and the service...i see it in the bibs i am using at present...assos...fox...first ascent. assos service was what i expected for the price i paid...an email to them explaining my situation...new bib delivered to my door...there was nothing wrong with the fabric...just a bunching issue in the high mileage chamois. fox...they did replace the bib without an issue...however it was a quality issue with the stitching. first ascent...no complaints about the quality...i got what i paid for the bib...they are now worn out and ready to be replaced...i need to decide what to replace them with...i might just get a cheapie pair again for using on the trainer. Thanks for the feedback. The service side will be the core of the business! its why we decided to go local. We have more control and faster delivery. We have no control if it was made say in China and how long would the client wait if there was a return or problem that needed to be replaced. Not acceptable when paying a premium price in my opinion!.

lechatnoir Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 IF the stuff is on par with the other European brands then I would buy local. BUT in all honesty if I was in the market for example a R1500 pair of bibs and I was comparing a local brand to a foreign brand and the quality was the same I would ask why isn't the local brand cheaper. For the same quality I would expect the local brand to be cheaper. I have paid R1200 for a pair of local bibs and they are only ok. I won't buy them again for that price because their quality is lower than some pairs of European bibs that cost about the same. Each time I see a Pyga price, I think that too, but in truth, that seems to be a premium product. I've not ridden one because I can't afford to HAVE to afford one If all things are equal, why shouldn't the prices be the same?

Andrew Steer Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 You have our new 2017 kit? I'm working on something To the OP, good luck with your endeavor - kit can certainly be made to top international standards here in SA. The challenge you will find, is changing the South African mentality that foreign is always better. PS: Please don't become Rapha wannabe clone vol:46
