Pyga Mobu

[Matchstix]

I bought these parts with the rand around 12 to the dollar, once or twice a bit less. I waited 9 months for those brakes and the prices listed are the prices I paid.

I reckon to repeay this build right now might set someone back an amount I don't want to think about

In fact I had no idea how much this build cost me until today - I knew it was a lot but as parts were bought monthly and online, I just never added it up

 

Relatively speaking its a fantastic price - as much as paying car prices for a bike can be

 

That was the long answer - short answer is that if I just sold the frame, I don't think I'd have the balls to sell off these parts. I'd keep them and spend more money down the line on another build

 

I am very happy riding gravel and the odd ride on a classic roadbike. I think this PYGA is too much for me and I'd rather have the crown right now. I haven't ridden a trail since K2C in 2018 and that's hardly technical

 

That said, I won't cry if I end up with it - maybe I won't think it's so fugly in real life

Well you are in george . . And I can definitely say its much prettier in real life.

Those Trickstuff brakes alone cost about 60k these days.......

I see 850 Euros, what am I missing?

if anyone has the need to part with a lot of money and wants the best possible build - size is large

Hey, apply some common decency.

 

If you are going to post stuff like that have the sense to give a NSFW warning......

Wait a month or two - 850 euros will be 60 grand

Great point Wayne. Any currency gurus out there willing to take a view where the rand dollar and rand gbp is going?

That was the joke I was trying to make.... I'm glad it wasn't lost on everyone!

Eish. Over me head like a Scud missile. Pretty breaks they are.

If I was in the market for a new bike, this would it. What a deal!

Have to agree.

After the Pinkbike insert, lockdown, I had a bit of time to day dream, and the built from Waynemol is more or less spot on.

 

Back to reality.

 

Waynemol awesome build,agree with the looks, personally I do not like the sharp edges. My opinion the Unno still takes it, but would have love to support local.

 

Supporting local now is our household.

Looks like a 2018 trek fuel ex to me except uglier.

With the current trend of SA riding, "Racing" becoming more technical and Enduro riding becoming a more popular choice, this bike pretty much covers the one bike quiver..
