OP why are you asking about 29ers?

because I fancy building one up with my speedhub as possibly a Do it all machine. I'm fairly tall and like the aesthetics + the extra momentum/bump consumption. have had very limited rides on them admittedly . why are you asking Why I'm asking?

I've got a brand new old stock Salsa El Mariachi with the True Temper frameset.Size 18". Has a bushnell EBB and comes in a very attractive grren colour but only if you like green!Tis a beautiful frame and would accommodate the rohloff well

OP - it was your other thread about rocky terrain - just seemed an odd question, I wondered if you had a specific use in mind. 29ers do smooth out trails a bit but it's no suspension - i.e. closer to a 26" HT than a 26" short travel FS.

Not an EBB, but I bought a [url= http://www.bikescene.co.uk/SPECIALIZEDCLEARANCEFRAMES-92.html ]Specialized Rockhopper frame[/url] with sliding dropouts to use with a Rohloff for £200.

They've only got smalls left now though, so maybe not much help.

Edit;
Just read this bit "[i]... I'm fairly tall...[/i]", so sorry, definitely not much help.

I second Si from Progressive Bikes Chumba HX2 recommendation.

I used an HX1 for my 26" Rohloff Speedhub build - really happy with it.

Just found [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAVE-180-KONA-BIG-UNIT-29er-geared-SS-frame-19-/370531581665?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item5645673ee1#ht_646wt_1139 ]a scandium Kona Big Unit[/url] on ebay, as used and recommended by Graham "Frame Breaker" Phillips.
I've had more mileage out of my second hand medium Big Unit than I did out of a brand new large Lynskey Ridgeline and Gary Fisher Rig combined.
