Apologies for bringing this debate up of the new proposal that the world be dominated by 27.5 (giants idea)
I was dead set on buying a trance 29er frame and building it up with XT groupset, rock shox revelations, arch ex on hope evo’s, reverb etc.
I attempted to get a demo on a trance at my local giant dealer in radlet, only to be told they don’t stock the 29er…they have to order it in..
Attempted another dealer, got told the same..both pushing the 27.5.
At the moment I can get everything at a really good price for a 29er..
I’m interested to hear people’s opinions, if you were buying a new bike would it be to hold fire and see how the market turns out, or would you choose a 29er or 27.5 and reason why?
Cheers
