Having now decided to build a grown up bike (29er) i started to check the classifieds on here for parts,,

and suddenly there seems to be an increasing amount of WTD ads for 29er parts,,

so is 2010 going to be the year of the 29er ,,

Nothing I didn't predict 3 years ago. Everyone is now curious for some man-size bigness in their lives.

Having just built up Duggie's old frame I say yes!

Highlight was cracking open a beer on the Surly tuggnut, long live tall arses!

21'' frames in a 29r version from spesh are rarer than the rarest of hens teeth.

Too late!
2009 was the 29 year.
Notice: 9 & 9? And the 2?
I bought mine 15 months ago and have never looked back.

2010 – S010
Yep, 2010 is the year we try solo racing.

Ade: get with the program; please! 😉

Eventualy 29ers will slide into mainstream.

Just as front suspension did.

Just the same as full suspension did.

Just the same as disc brakes did.

People are scared of change and it takes them a while to get used of the way things look.
