Anyway - nice 🙂

Pyga One Ten 29er to follow soon 🙂

Thanks for the positive feedback Yak.

Bit underwhelmed if I'm honest, think it's the colour & that hideously long seat tube that's making the frame look to big for the wheels

Edit:might just be the camera angle in the 1st pic, 2nd looks better

I like everything apart from the seat mast which just seems weird- ugly but restricts seat dropping too. First pic is really unflattering tbh, looks squished, they're much nicer really.

Seat 'mast' part of the frame looks a bit odd on those doesn't it, good stand over mind you.
How are you getting on with the Sweeps in standard spec.

Edit: Northwind! #shakesfist# 😉

I love mine! 8)

restricts seat dropping too

if anything restricts dropping the post, it'll be the slightly bent seat tube (esp. if the "mast" was trimmed a bit shorter).

it's the colour, and the BB format that stopped me buying one. and the price.

Enjoying the comments on the seatpost - it's a Thomson elite dropper seatpost!

Loads of room when it's down.

Oodles of standover height.

Yes, the camera angles are off somewhat. I'll try taking some different ones tomorrow with a different camera 🙂

The X Fusion Sweeps are the DLA RL2 versions.

Awesome forks at a fantastic price!

Run then at 130mm most of the time and then flick the switch to take it to 160mm when pointing down something steep. Easy, stable and great fun.

Although, 160mm is too much really.

We've fitted the X Fusion forks 'cos they're on demo as well.

Hence the long steerer tube - we'll be moving them between bikes as customers try them out on their own bikes.

19.5 inches centre to top on the largest frame. pretty much in line with pretty much everything else out there?

So why is the post already pretty much at its lowest possible position, at what looks like a pretty sensible riding height? (and what is gained? Why isn't the seattube just shorter?)

The post could go higher for me - I'm 6ft 1".

It's about 1-2 inches out of the seat tube itself.

The design is like this I believe due to the geometry of the bike for the rider - the seat tube itself is not round, but a sort of rhomboid shape.

It's all to do with the way the forces travel through the bike I believe and the positioning of the pivot points relative to the rider.

In a nutshell - it works a treat!

Why isn't the seattube just shorter?

or are all the other 19inch seat tubes on lots and lots of (Large) bikes way too long too? (not sure what size that one in the picture is)

because it would then be too short to have the seat high up for the uphills?

Really? You must be looking at different photos, that's a 125mm drop post so could have as much rise again out of the tube, on a typical design (ie 100mm minimum insertion).

Still like it mind but it just seems daft. Ugly, sure, but functionally a bad move too.

I'm 5'9" ish and have the medium with a 100mm dropper. There's about 40 - 45mm of the post out of the seat tube, so I could feasibly run a 125mm dropper, although I have found the reality to be that the 100mm drops the saddle low enough and well out of the way for me.

At full extension, the saddle is set up at the optimal height for my legs at about 715mm IIRC from centre of BB to seat angle/top of saddle point.

As Ive mentioned previously, I've found this bike to require very little messing about to get it to feel right for me. I shortened the stem by 10mm following my first ride. The RT3 and 140 Solo Air Rev's combo Ive found are well balanced and again, almost fettling for the sake of fettling with fork rebound.

Patrick Morewood certainly knows how to design a FS bike and so far, IME since last May, short XC single track blasts, longer SDW not so quick blasts to hurtling down stuff in the Alps, it feels at home in all of them and with aplomb, no matter how well I chose the wrong lines.

I also love the colour!

Actually, I'm kinda pleased its not for everyone. 😀

Looks similar to a 7yr old Turner Flux. Not my cup of tea.

I have the 29er version. 5ft 11/ickle legs but bought a large on advice of r53 (importers). I run a 125mm post in there and it's absolutely fine (although there's only an inch or so of 'normal' post showing). There is LOADS of stand over tho. And I agree with SlackAlice, it's a great bike for all kinds of riding.

Here's a gratuitous picture

Your post makes me smile 🙂

This is my 2007 Turner Flux TNT.. now sold 🙁

They don't look alike !!

All I can see is when you open that van door it pretty much says WAN and a k in massive letters. Good skills.

Haha! Open the door about a foot and it'll say "bike****.con" with a monocled behatted gent winking at you! [i]Sublime[/i] skills!

*Tips hat*

what is ?

There are loads more bikes it looks way more similar to - what a strange choice. If anything it looks more like the new turners with the curvy tubes, rather than the old ones with the burritos and straight tubes!

How much do the builds come in at ?

Not wishing to miss out on a gratuitous pic opportunity 😀 Or a bump 😉

Taken on the first ride.

Great to see so many opinions being expressed.

At the end of the day, though, it is all about how these bikes ride.

And I'm pleased to say that these beauties are the best bikes I've ever ridden.

I get to ride a lot of different bikes that we run on demo. They are all really good, but everyone has a favourite. Mine's the Pyga 110 (for 2014 anyway), which I'm going to post some pics of in a mo.

Back to the riding - if you'd like to find out what they're like for yourself, all you need to do is try one out.

We've got Medium and Larges in the 650B and Large 110.
