Nakoota Posted April 10, 2020 Share *Updated post "Show your bike some love and win" You asked and I will show. My Pyga has had a rough life (she thinks so as all kids do). Having been raised as one of many many children, she often had to compete with the beauty of her Colnago sisters, the prestige of her US postal Trek of a brother and the waif thin 7.4kg Open hardtail that was the apple of her father's eye. Living amongst these beauties was not easy and one day the Stage decided that standard colours just wouldn't do so she went out and got herself a radiant paint job. Glitter infused purple gloss paint that would be at home on the nails of a seapoint hooker and bright orange decals to match. Now her siblings had something to envy and with her new looks in hand she decided to leave her family in the Cape and find a new home (in my garage). Paint isn't everything though, you have to be clean too. I've taken the time to strip her down, clean and polish every square mm, grease the pivots and weigh every component in preparation for putting her back together. Time for some of that love you asked for...

Frosty Posted April 10, 2020 Share Is it the full bike and all, or can we post just the bits we’re maintaining? What started with a dirty chain, in need of a clean, turned into a complete bike wash.
