Hi guys
Looking at various options for a lightish 29er race bike. It will be a hardtail.
It's a pipeline thing at the moment so lets see some pics of what are you all racing at the moment along with approx weight & spec please to give me some ideas/inspiration.
Cheers
No pics but singular Pegasus is on my wishlist
It's got some better brakes on it now and the wheels are looking a little roughed up but this is basically it. ~ 17 lbs of fun.
Awesome
Niner Air 9
21lb ish,arches,hopes,960's,thomson.Bagged me a top 20 at the dyfi at the cost of a destroyed rear rim.
Same as Rocketdog (and Sam I suppose) here - in my garage once Sam beats the Italian couriers into submission.
twinklydave , will a Ragley make me as fast as you?? 
igm, it left here today, you should have it tomorrow!
What more can I say.

Yep.
It might tear your legs off and explode your lungs in doing so, but it'll definitely make you uber fast
excellent
sam, are those the fragile wheels that fell apart at ssec?
Be nice if this turns up in Europe for 2011
Cheers guys.
Forgot to say. Not ss as I'm not fit/strong enough & not Ti as my pockets are not that well endowed !
Anyone else ?
That leaves the Scandal and the Swift then? I raced a Scandal for over 2 years. Loved it wish I hadn't sold it. One day I will probably buy a carbon one.
I now have a 456 69er which is close to twice the weight. Still fun to thrash though!
i love my scandal; it is singlespeed but it works well with gears too. tis very light frame.
what forks is a much tougher question...
Hi Sam,
and speaking as a happy Singular Swift owner, i think the tyre, wheel and fork combo in terms of 'looks' does the Pegasus a disservice.
I've had a Swift and wouldn't mind another but being i take an XL frame feel it makes the bike quite heavy compared to alloy ones 
Saw a few Pegasus's at last weekends Bonty and they do look nice, just a shame i can't afford one 
Heihei 29er...
You are so right martinh but the concept store in London said I was the only person to ask about 1 last month which is why I had to do it myself
Salsa El Mariachi Ti or Mamasita? A few good pics on the website. I've had my Mamasita for a year, and it's never been off the podium - quite a record!

No, it was a pair with reflex road rims which collapsed. These are Reynolds and they've been solid - in fact Gareth raced them to 6th at ssec.
