Good to see that short stems are nothing new...

"Now, Mr. Slade, do you think that the 'ordinary bicycle' will ever again take the lead in cycling?"

"Well, to be frank with you, I do not. It is a subject that gives rise to a great amount of discussion, many believe it will, but I think the majority agree that for all practical purposes it is doomed."

The old 26" vs 29" debate was still raging back in 1892 then...

28" wheels - niche tastic!. Plus the saddle looks like a sheep skull

Funny, I'm currently running a 29er rigid SS for my main bike. Apart from the brakes and freewheel, it's basically the same thing. Love it.
