I like;

even the fork which from the other pics I’d seen looked a bit ‘back to front’.

more details;

looks pretty nice:
I thought we were “all” on bigger offsets than that for 29 forks ?
No swappable dropout ?

Swappable drop outs only seem to be on the ‘heavyweight’ carbon 29er. The one in the picture is the race (lightweight) version and is expected to only have vertical dropouts.

Certainly looks good, but the weight restriction for the frame is below that of my ample build.

I appear to have my info incorrect around the weight limit, and have been informed there isn’t one for the production frames. It may have been applicable to the original uber-lightweight carbon 29″ prototype, so sorry for any confusion.

However that just makes the choice twice as hard now….grrr!
