I'd buy a Niner WFO as I think a long travel 29" all mountain bike would be ace fun

RealMan - that is a doozy, and almost (almost!) makes me think a clown bike would be right for me...

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

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.

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'.

Trek/Gary Fisher Superfly, it's the only 29er I've thought "I'd like that", no ideas if it's any cop.

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.

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.
