Have just looked at a Sanderson soloist 69er and like it very much. Just wondered what the views were of anyone out there riding one.
Currently have a Genesis io, which will have to be sold to make way for the Sanderson, a good move or not?
I've been riding a Singular Hummingbird for about 18 months now and I can't say enough good things about it. To get the 29" front wheel to handle really sweetly you need forks with more offset than normal, which the Hummingbird forks have. (around 55mm). I've also got a converted Explosif with 425mm Salsa rigid forks and 29" front wheel, and while it handles ok it's not as good as the Hummingbird, not by a long way.
Just get one.
I meant get a Hummingbird, of course......
I've a Carver which I really like. There's a Soloist sat in the workshop nearly built, there's also a spare 29" front wheel in there ๐
The io fork will take a 29er front wheel. Give it a try?
I've a homemade 69er - it's fine but I'd get a 29er
