'tis finally finished and has been ridden - any thoughts.
Possibly a layback seatpost?

Not being funny, but has the image distorted?
I thought that. It looks like its been crashed into something. Or is it a 26" wheel or summink?
What is it...? Voodoo something? Angles do look a little steep, but I like 29er's, they have deffinate advantages. If you do for a layback seatpost, please....whatever you do, don't get one of those riddiculous bent Thompson creations.
Looks a bit "squashed"?

He's right...
Get a Thomson one instead... 😉
The head angle is really really steep! is it supposed to have 100mm forks or 80mm?
Shorter stem may help it look better, but then you'd need a layback post.
It does look...well...odd really. Don't you think?
the MMTS factor is around 93%
looks like a pig to ride - does it have a29" rear and 26" front? if so - why?
Take the gears off??
😐
It's a photo, people! It'll look different in real life.. and IIRC the geometry of Voodoo 29ers isn't that weird.
Looks like a lovely build, Mr Chimp. What size is it?
Personally I'd maybe plump for a shorter stem (although it's hard to tell what length that one is) and a layback post, but that's just me. If you go for a layback s/post, I recommend Control Tech - similar build quality as far as I can tell to Thomson, nicer design for a little layback, and much cheaper too.. although you've ridden it, and it's your bike, so far be it from me to preach. What do *you* think? 🙂
