"I rode the bike once and didn't like how it handled with the 26" wheels" Well duh!

Why would you buy a pretty nice full suss 29er and think it would handle well with wheels way smaller than it's designed for? When i first saw the pic i assumed it was nicked before i read the description (thought a chav had just switched wheels with another bike without knowing the difference).

Might make a decent bargain for someone though, especially if you can build your own wheels using the existing hubs?

How long before stu or sheldon turn up with pics proving they invented this niche years ago?

Wouldn't your pedals hit the ground due to BB being lower?
