Phew - pic 2 is much better!
I know riders are using 29er;s in world cup races & they supposed to ride well, BUT, they don't look right in fact they are ugly, not going to ride one because I may like it and I don't want to.
Is that a 69'er Rocketdog?
Does IF do 69er too?

I took the slightly unusual step of fitting a 26" wheel into the back of a 29er frame to slacken the angles off...

aNd how does it ride rob?
I'm loving it... the geometry was far too steep with the stock 80mm form and a 29er rear wheel, so I fitted a 26" back wheel and longer forks, slackening the angles by about 3 degrees but keeping the bb height about the same. Doesn't climb quite as sharply but it's so much more fun going down now. 8)
Btw I have also run these two as well in the past...

Does IF do 69er too?
Not that I'm aware of, this is my own 'mad scienctist' creation... though tbh, IF do custom jobs don't they, so anything could be specced if one wanted?
Ok well here you go, but dont tell anyone i got a weired bike ok?!?!

[b][i]......Frankenbike lives!!!!![/i][/b]
was tempted to do the same rob, i also considered a 650b in the back-theres a good thread on mtbr about a trek 69er with 650b rear
Wot no Summer Seasons?
BTW putting a smaller wheel in the Fisher must do wonders for mud clearance.
[i]Thinks[/i] how much is in the bike fund?
From this...

... to this in commuter guise. Ugly it is, then.

I'm thinking of a rigid 69er with alfine for winter
