for reasons that I won't go into.... a mate wants a 29er with rigid forks. I could, of course, buy a HT and swap the sus fork for a rigid but I'd prefer to keep things simple.
Frame material isn't a big issue btw.
Any ideas?
Cannondale do quite a handsome trail 29er but it's SS

'dale also do the bad boy 29er but that's over budget...

Acera 1x9 and M395 brakes.
Islabikes Beinn 29. £449.
ooh that looks nice - is that a Pinnacle?
Beinn is now a candidate, thanks. Pity it's white...
how soon is 'quite soon'?
Shipped last week so ~5-6 weeks?
cheers. Pinnacle looks just the job.
I'm sure I read somewhere the 'dale will take a gear hanger. But buying all the bits to convert probably zaps the VFM.
the 'dale will indeed take a mech hanger but unfortunately it doesn't have cable stops, so you'd need to run a full length gear outer zip-tied to the frame, which is a pity.
