RobertWhitehead Posted November 24, 2023 Share The year was somewhere in the late 2020's when I perused the classifieds minding my own business only to stumble upon a neglected and worn down Pyga Pascoe 140. If memory serves this is a 2015 model and the original owner applied some elbow grease and or other chemicals to eliminate "most" but alas not "all" of the once gleaming paintwork to run it exposed for everyone to peak under her proverbial skirt. Before: It took me a few years to decide what I wanted to do with her, but the moment inspiration struck there was no turning back. This is a once off custom look. I increased the size of the decals but kept it quite minimal rather than some flashy billboard 😁. The paint color is a silver pearl with a royal blue candy (for those like me saying huh? - it is a silver base coat with a royal blue candy). What this translates to: in low light this frame appears just a normal blue but once the sun hits it then BAMM! It will shine like the skinny vampire in the Twilight films 🤣. For the rest of the parts I am going with: Fork - Marzocchi Dorado (160mm) Shock - Rockshox Monarch Plus Brakes - SRAM Guide G2 4 piston Groupset - Most likely XT 1x12 Wheels - Newly built (unbranded) wheels with Novatec Hubs and XD drive This once off build will hit the classifieds near you within the next week or two 😃, happy Friday everyone FondTF2, Bichael Dewing, Scary Rider and 17 others 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynE Posted November 24, 2023 Share @RobertWhitehead why do you torture me so. It’s not right. Scary Rider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynE Posted December 23, 2023 Share I’m bumping this because I took this bike for a spin today and it is a BEAST. It deserves a home where it will get thoroughly abused, because it will love every second and so will its rider! This bike will give someone amazing confidence. I’d dare say it’s bulletproof. (and its also flippen good looking!) ChrisF and RobertWhitehead 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobynE Posted December 27, 2023 Share Photos do not do it justice 😞 This bike is a weapon! At R23k it feels almost sinful. Edited December 27, 2023 by RobynE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
