A 'small person's' Inbred frame to match that goat up there, in the 29er's 'chicken tikka orange' would be nice please 😛

There is a small persons version of the 29er. It's called a 26in Inbred.
Oooh, that'll get the 29er evangists frotting themselves into a furious lather!
Brant could you ask on-one to order shed loads of the new Schwalbe Hans Dampf tire?
I really really don't think that trying to shoehorn small people onto big wheels, especially when the small people then think they want a suspension fork is a good idea.
The angles are all wrong. You need to drive weight down into the fork to get it to work. You can't do this if you're little, and the steeper head angles of 29ers make this even worse.
Rigid 29ers can go smaller, for sure, but poor small people, usually women, with bars up around their ears, poor stand over near the front of the bike and wheel tops higher than their waist... Oh dear.

Yeah, but I see no chicken tikka orange 🙁 .
I'd like the follow up version from Mama's, toilet ****
😆
maybe I ought to start doing some "normal" rides so I could see why people might want a 100mm travel XC 29er.

Obviously at this point I have to post Emily Batty's 29er

That's absolute fact (™ TJ) 😉

Emily is trying there, with a flipped stem and a short fork.
But that saddle position suggests there's a lot of compromise going on to get the fit. Slid all forward like that.
I'm sure she's fast, but she'd be fast on my bike.
Indeed.. it's actually a good example of shoehorning everything in IMO.
It does look like her parents bought her it, hoping she will grow into it in a year or so's time.
it doe slook like she rides a 29er 'cos that's the sort of bike they want to sell.
Though that also maybe suggest some future direction - small 29ers with steeper seat angles and stems that mount directly above the fork crown rather than above the head tube (a la Boardman Lotus bike though that was integrated bars/single leg fork IIRC)

Agree, though to be fair it doesn't seem to have slowed her though as brant says, that's really because it's riders that make bikes go fast not the other way round (though which manufacturer will admit that? On-one maybe 🙂 )
Why not design a bike with a gun holster/rack?
Call it the Titus Winchester.
The Americans will fall over themselves to ride it around campus's.

I can't help thinking that it might be quite uncomfortable if you fell off.
Seeing as goat is the new octopus, here's a goat octopus

I have 2 summer seasons. one is a SS. I call it the SSSS. How cool is that? I get occasional chain suck. The original RAW got a thump in the chainstay to fix it. The hot orange came with the official dent but still suffers from time to time. I have mostly learned to avoid it by not changing down to granny. I ride the hot orange geared summer season more than any other bike. It does everything. If the suck issues were sorted it would be a great design. I quite liked the relaxed attitude at On-One too but you kind of have to know about it first! In summary, Brant's stuff is very good but not perfect. It's certainly better value than other stuff on the market.
I'd like to see a new On One with a sidecar, called the 'Gladwyn'.

You could go as far afield as Hull or Bridlington!

Isn't that true of falling on any stem if you've got a spacer or two above it?
I don't like Goats so if Brant is planning on a goat-based range I'm afraid I won't be investing. I'm out.

trolls generally don't 😉

Goats v trolls, only one way to sort that out.............fight

Pay particular attention to this clever young man.
I am happy with this description, deleriously so to be honest, but in fairness I should inform you that my wife isn't that convinced about the word clever as applied to me and my children find the description of me as young, hilarious to the point of hysteria.
but I promise we're not going to slacken and lower everything
Sounds rubbish then. I'm out...
