loads of differant 29r bikes, but you were a bit of a k n o b and had sold em all, and then you decided that you wanted to buy another 29r frame to build up, what frame would you buy?
New steel Jones diamond ,best 29er hardtail ride imho
RealMan - that is a doozy, and almost (almost!) makes me think a clown bike would be right for me...
that WFO looks awesome. i bet that is serious fun downhill.
Apologies, I didn't mean to cause such harm.
ton-51/2" on a 29er would feel like about a gazillion miles of travel, you could ride over cars like a monster truck and not even notice them under the mighty wheels of truth
I've just had a sexwee
XC mincing or FS blasting ton?
for the former, one of those lynskey twisty tube jobs. nice.
And for the latter, if I weren't in love with my El Cap, the only other that could drag me away is a Tracer T29. Lovely bike that, in black, and getting amazing reviews.
Which one do you regret getting rid of the most?? 😉
I do like the ellsworth evolve 120mm 29er as well
Kev, mincing and pootling........ 😀
i got my el cap for owt gnarrrrr....... 😉
carlos, singular 🙁
Would it be rude to suggest another Singular??

I was going to insert a witty pic of a clown but google images shows a pic of a Jones if you search for 'clown bike'.
I had a go on a Lynskey Ridgeline 29 last week and it's flippin' awesome! So light yet really planted and stable. Want one 🙁
wow, that's almost as ugly as a Jones. achievement indeed.
Truly hideous
Edit: that orangey coloured thing
Canfield Nimble 9. I've got a Yelli Screamy and it's ace. Si (Progressive) not bringing in the N9 though 🙁

I thought this post was about me!! regretably I'm looking for a buyer for my beloved Niner Air 9, 19" frame, X9, Reba RLT's, Tubeless, KMC Chain, Hope BB, Hope seat QR, Hope X2 brakes to briefly spec it. Bought it in Feb and it's super fast and great fun but I prefer my Rumblefish for comfort due to a back issue. £1300 ONO, cost well over £2k to build.

Can't quite work out why but 29ers make me feel a little bit sick.
Whatever this one is:
Stu at the Dales Bike Centre has just got this - suit to sir?

probably 'cos you ride mainly in tight twitchy Mugdock stuff that is best ridden slow between tight trees and rocks ?
Love this one (now with a rigid fork):

those niner steel frames look a bit to noodly for me. they look like the seatstays could bend when i sat on them....... 😉
Ton when i get my nicolai 29er I'll visit my dad in Wakefield and bring a couple of bikes and can go for a spin

I 'might' be open to change my mind if enough people show interest to make it viable.
That pic of the Canfield Nimble 9 doesnt do it justice.
