Ive been looking at upgrading to a new bike for a bit now.
I can never make my mind up between full suspension or longer travel HT but when I mention my size 6'2 people always say '29er'!
Normally I ignore that option but I have been looking more into it and for me maybe its a better bike for my body as I do feel like 26 bikes are a bit 'small' as in I feel like I am riding on top rather that as one with the bike.
I did test ride a 2012 20' Orange 5 and it felt great but decided that the FS bike its a bit over kill for my riding.
Been looking at a Giant XTC 29er and also taking my current frame and getting a CHina carbon 29er frame and bulding one up.
Any suggestions/options on decent sub £1500 29er's or general ideas on 29er's and taller riders?
My riding is mainly trail centres.
