Right- I've got a great bike in my singular Pegasus-running with niner forks and Ss its a 20lb dream.....but I'm not super fit and dont race so I'm wondering whether a more relaxed geometry may suit my needs more

Had a go on a mates jones and loved it but can't afford both so thinking of changing the Peggy for a steel diamond and truss forked monster with the ability to go fat up front

So will I regret changing, will the additional weight be a pain, who will win dancing on ice, and what sort of demand is there for Peggy's in large with niner carbon forks?

All input gratefully received

but no one else can answer this only you can

personally it sounds like you already have the perfect bike for you, are you changing for the sake-of?

You may have a point- but I used to have a few bikes and am trying to get to one and the Peggy is pretty much a racey number and I was thinking a jones would be more flexible ie can run 29er, half fat or tourer

..but the Peggy is lovely!!

It's all his fault- tried his spaceframe the other day and loved it

Next to try is his old diamond one which he moved on to one of the boys - I missed a trick there!

I'm doing a public service and de-valuing the brand to bring it to the masses rather than the beardy nicheistas ๐Ÿ˜†

and pop is just looking for an excuse to but another bike. The less he rides the more he buys bike bits to compensate. The answer is ride more to get fitter and faster to make the peggy fly. Not go for a tractor to justify a bimble ๐Ÿ˜†

yeh cos a uber pimpy light ti singular with spangly carbon bits is just so common place ๐Ÿ˜†

in fact what you need is a specialneeds hardcok or stumpfker or maybe go wild and get your very own halifax filing cabinet. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I guarantee there are less Pegasuses in the world than there are Jones spaceframes - they certainly don't look so odd though ๐Ÿ™‚

I think SSS has a great point I should have both!
May need a dollop of patience tho'

Sam- is that really the collective noun of pegasus?
