I’m considering a new bike, one of the options /methods involves purchasing a parkwood frame to replace my existing 29 bouncer that I find a bit dull.
The hope is I’ll
A) fall in love completely and want to keep it long term, flog my 26 and pocket the proceeds. (best possible)
B) like it enough to want a flashier 29er hardtail, sell my 26 to fund a nice new frame (more likely, I think I’m too much of a snob for A)
C) like it enough that I don’t get bored riding it and keep riding whilst I sell my 26 but not enough to keep it, and replace both 26 and and the parkwood.
So my question really is:
Is it any good?
Well it give me a good(ish) impression of a 29er, the ones I’ve ridden before I’ve found a bit “beige” and I’d like to see if it’s me not liking 29ers or me not liking the 29ers I’ve ridden.
Also since this is stw, will I die in a ball of flame.
Should I just kill my bikes with bombers/nuke from orbit.
Are 29ers more or less hateful than the 650 which would possibly be involved in option c
