Having now decided to build a grown up bike (29er) i started to check the classifieds on here for parts,,
and suddenly there seems to be an increasing amount of WTD ads for 29er parts,,
so is 2010 going to be the year of the 29er ,,
Yep time to rebel against ickle wheels
Nothing I didn't predict 3 years ago. Everyone is now curious for some man-size bigness in their lives.
No way!
650B.
i will never happen.
too many straight thinking cyclists in the uk.
too many short arses more like 😉
Having just built up Duggie's old frame I say yes!
Highlight was cracking open a beer on the Surly tuggnut, long live tall arses!
right that's it I'm selling my 29er ss and going back to small wheels and gears...it'll be the new niche I'm telling ya 😀
Clown bike and no mistake. Even worse than a tandem.
i predict Specialized will spec 13 and 15 frames with 26" wheels, 17 and 19 frames with 650b wheels and 21 and 23 frames with 29 wheels
21'' frames in a 29r version from spesh are rarer than the rarest of hens teeth.
been looking for one for the last month...... 😐
Too late!
2009 was the 29 year.
Notice: 9 & 9? And the 2?
I bought mine 15 months ago and have never looked back.
2010 - S010
Yep, 2010 is the year we try solo racing.
Ade: get with the program; please! 😉
Ton, did you check out my link, they (would appear) to have 21" bikes?

duggie, i phoned dales the next day.
guy said the website is out of date..... 😐
2009 was 29er year, the year I sold them!
no, although there is some interest on here. how many do you see out on a typical weekend ride?
i think all the ones being sold are all by small people who thought they would try em out..........and realised they need to grow into man's pant's 1st............. 😉
Is 5'11" small? 🙂

Is 5'11" small?

5' 11" is tall, in my house.
5'11" is dwarf like 😉
That's it! If 2010's going to be the year 29er's go mega I'm out - FREE to a good home

29er FS bikes are the ultimate niche, thats why I signed up for 2010. 8)
anyone who rides a 29er has issues with their sexuality
Fancy a bum rocketdog?
Mines just being finished.
Been looking at our Spannies 29er Scandal and have to say I'm very tempted.

Spill the beans then
bigsi, yes but i've got low ceilings.
Everyone is now curious for some man-size bigness in their lives.
Chuckles.
Eventualy 29ers will slide into mainstream.
Just as front suspension did.
Just the same as full suspension did.
Just the same as disc brakes did.
People are scared of change and it takes them a while to get used of the way things look.
29rs are like bum sex
you either do or you do not................. 😈
ton - Member29rs are like bum sex
And running the risk of getting banned again I'll have to ask if you push back? 😉
I prefer the 69er that Trek made! 🙂

pushing back loads...............all my stable.
"Pushing back"
The frase that pays for 2010.*
*As long as you don't ask the wrong person and get banned. 🙄
I have never seen a 29 out on the trails!!! So garage niche to me...
But love the look of the Superfly that has popped up here a couple of times
if i was organising a international bike event in 2010, andi wanted a snappy t shirt idea for odd shaped wheel riders, Pushing Back On My 29r, would look good on a t shirt.................. 😉
Actually - I could care less if not one more got made or sold. I have my bikes, they are great and that'll do for me. There are so many flat-earthers who ride bikes change is measured on the geological timescale, so it'll be evolution, not revolution.

What like [url= http://ssec10.blogspot.com/ ]SSEC 2010[/url] for example?
It would be a good idea but I have no idea who might be involved in organising it. 8)
Am I on the wrong forum with this thread?
It's degrading in such a manner & style that it's resembling a BM thread! Now that's not progress.
For those who have yet to witness 29ers, perhaps you're not entering the major events such as MM, SS, there were dozens of them at the Montane 100, Bonty 24, etc etc plus the club race series dotted around the South for sure.
I'm 5:10:5. On-One make 16-18-20-22 inch frames. Mine's an 18 and fits well, so the idea that you need to be a giant is yet more smoke 'n' mirrors from the BM no-sayers.
i'm in the boat as you tootall. got mine and they are excellent, thats all that matters really.
