Mate at work has one for sale which has never been further than a bit of tarmac.It is the lefty 29er version in ally.Cost him 2k new and wants £1200 for it.
I have read they are a decent ride for basic singletrack etc but having never dipped my toe in the 29er water wondered if any of you lot have ridden/owned etc.
cheers D
Met a guy who picked one up on June 9th and then proceeded to do the Tour Divide over the next 27 days - straight out of the box! He liked it.
Another rider who had his longer liked it, only problem that with the lefty fork doing anything complicated one handed was 'interesting' such as eating. May not be an issue for you though. I would say go for it if you fancy it.
Thanks Blackhound I think I will.
i don't think there are that many out and about in the UK?
i'd have a good look on here...
