IronRun Posted February 4, 2023 Share First stage event coming up in June. Two options are Pyga 650 and Merida 400. The Merida is a softer ride and easier easier peddle, while the Pyga is lighter and the wider handle bar makes controlling the bike easier. Merida component Shimano with drop seat. Pyga components Scram and no drop seat. Sales person did say they can install a drop seat. Edited February 4, 2023 by IronRun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasilvarsa Posted February 4, 2023 Share The Merida 120 9 400 Comes with Suntour Fork and Shock. What does the PYGA come with ? I prefer for myself RockShox over Suntour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Duderino Posted February 4, 2023 Share Why you buying a 650B to do stage races? You better off with a 29er. Pyga seems like a better option. But I would not buy a 650B for marathon and stage races. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Duderino Posted February 4, 2023 Share Also, get a dropper. You won't regret it. nonky and Fred van Vlaanderen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why only those two options and the golden rule of thumb: Get the bike that you enjoy looking at, everything else can be upgraded and changed . nonky, Fred van Vlaanderen, Scary Rider and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted February 5, 2023 Share Keep shopping. Find a Momsen Vipa even. Great endurance and stage race machine. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
