Apologies for crappy iphone pic

A dodgy knee means all that pumpy/jumpy stuff is out for me now so I thought I'd try one of those new fangled 29ers and do some xc/endurance stuff.
A frame was acquired via the On-one Titus 'fire sale' and the plan was to move as much stuff as I could from my Yeti 575.
As it turned out, only the stem, front mech and pedals were used ๐Ÿ™‚

Took it out for it's maiden voyage on the black route at Hamsterley this morning.
Rides very well indeed, nothing fell off or worked loose, certainly rolls over stuff a lot better than a 26er but other than that, I can't say it's massively different. The BB is lower causing a couple of pedal strikes but I'll get used to that.
Still need to sort out the steerer length/bar position to my liking but all in all - I like it.

Tyre clearance?

Not bad, a lot better than my Yeti
With that 2.0 Bonty tyre there's about 15mm either side and 25mm to the front

Weight?
not a clue but it's not heavy

The lawn?
Ooooh, I wish it was mine to cut
