As they're not in stock?
Thinking of scratching my itch for something to replace my 26" hardtail thats
a) as racey/stiff as my old cannondale hardtail
b) lighter than my sanderson
c) 29'er
d) cheeper than an anthem-x
Could be tempted by a singular swift if anyones selling one though on looks alone! 18" or 19" frames.
It's a thread on 29'ers, someone on STW must have an oppionion!
Wait for the new scandal?
Cdale Scalpel or Scott Scale 29er? No idea on price comparison though.
My Swift is lovely but probably falls down on parts a) and b) of your shopping list. And I'm not selling it.
Cdale scalpel 29er is a thing of beauty alright - first 29er I've seen that makes me want to ride one. Probably work out 5 times the cost of a scandal though.
Could get a secondhand CAAD4 or 5 off ebay - miles classier than the scandal, cheap but obv not 29er.
Chumba HX2 🙂 £399, though there is a 10% voucher code...
There is a chap selling a Sigular Swift frame at the moment. His build looks really very nice!
Giant XTC 29er could be a good call. I'm waiting for their 2012 bikes to come out.
