For some reason I find this really bloody nice, well proportioned and the paint job is lovely. Showing my ignorance I didn't even know they made frames, are they any good?
He started off making frames and frame parts like dropouts (checkout a sanderson's dropouts, there's a little TR logo on them).
Kinda dissapointed the P29 doesnt have Ritchey dropouts TBH 🙁 does look lovely though.
Made them for years but in small numbers, I always wanted a softail (bet it would have been awful, but loved them) If I had the money I would get the P29er its just silly money really.

Looks real nice although i'd agree about those dropouts.
No TR logo on the dropouts WTF he'll be making them out of aluminium next!
lovely that, and i'm not a massive fan of clown bikes
We've got one in the shop,alongside an original unridden P22 in the same colours!The 29 will be getting built up with the same but contemporary components.
They are paragon machine worksdroputs,as used by most custom builders.
i love it , skinny tubes and retro paint BUT the drop outs are just wrong on that bike (and i have a ragley td-1 with the self same drop outs)
Mine is designed by Tom, but built in Taiwan unlike the early ones that were also built by Tom.

The new P-Team looks like it has traditional Ritchey dropouts

Looks great - review of it in US Switchback mag.. http://www.switchbackmb.com/About/content/12/0/About
wish Pace had done the same thing with their old cool square tube bikes and reimagined the RC100/200 etc as a modern 29er..
