I had a little ride on a pre-production one (first ride ever on a 29er of any kind I have to say). It was comfy (I thought it was steel, surprised when I found out it was alloy), bit harder to pedal than my 26er and a lot harder to lift the front end up than my 26er. I daresay those are differences common to any 26/29 comparison though sadly?
The "Hotrod" bars are a very nice shape & I thought the spec was a bit basic, but it all seemed to work.
Other than that, it was a bike ๐
Hmmm why is it alloy? Big wheels, small tubes for the win! ๐
Seems a shame they are in Ally now, I liked the idea of a nice simple steel frame. That was one of the attractions of the old Clockwork wasnt it ?
