Really interested in the bike, like the concept, but have one big nagging doubt... my limited understanding of 29ers is that they either need a steep head angle, or a custom fork offset to deal with the characteristics of the big wheel. The Fortitude is based around a standard 440mm rigid fork with 40mm offset (just like my Pace RC31 - which could be a good thing) however, given it's 69.5 deg head angle - this seems to ignore the stated wisdom of 29er geometry... could it be that current trends towards shorter stems enable this kind of thing or am I missing something?
