At 6'1" I'm thinking of swapping my 18" Scandal 26er to a 19.5" Scandal 29er.

I find the front end of the 26er quite low so use a few spacers and risers to raise it up.

Is this the case with the 29er or do the bigger wheels give a more raised front end?

Cheers

6'3" here and got the 29er 19.5" with rigid forks, straight bars and a high rise stem (mostly road work and the front 'feels' too high now so I was going to lose the stem), in comparison to my voodoo with riser bars and 100mm forks the grips end up the same height.
Any help?

Yes it has Monkey as it's the exact setup I was thinking of..

To quote the On-One website

Short headtubes mean that the top tube is low,

Just not sure it's for me, so I'm just gonna have to get a test ride on-one before I take the plunge.
