[Closed] 29er's, If you had access to US frames, what would you build and why.

Tandem call for quote

Not sure I can afford the call

Just stick big tyres and cow horn bars on a cyclocross bike ,it's the ame thing.

Nothing exotic but the Spec Stumpy ss frames are nice - light, shirt cs and not available over here!!!! 👿

i have access, just buy from u.s. shops. i have bought a niner sir 9, niner air 9 and salsa big mama. why? sir 9 for versatlilty, air 9 for racing and the salsa was just too cheap to ignore. i like them all.

Can't get the Spec from any US Spec dealers - they are not allowed to sell online and certainly won't ship to UK. ONly way would be to get someone else to go into shop and buy it then send it over. I tried lots of shops. 🙁

If I was really that bothered about having 'something different' I'd go for a custom build as I did for one of my bikes.

"What would build and why ?"

I've already got a Jones so I don't "need" another.
Why? Quite simply it's the nicest bike I've ever ridden.

But for riding the beaches I've got a Salsa Mukluk on route as the Jones does sink in the sand a bit even with a fat wheel up front.
This could be built up with stanadard 29er wheels as well.

If I had the dough I'd get a Jones tomorrow, but pretty happy with my Scandal if I'm honest with myself and can suppress my consumption monkey

Specialized look sweet. i got a niner mcr off here, dont think i could stomach the uk price tag. the new pace looks lovely and cotic will be joining the party soon.

I think it's a lovely looking bike, especially the script the logo's written in.
