The winningest Ti 29er in the UK?

too slow Sam 😉

Depends how much you want to spend.

Singular is lovely if you can afford it. Van Nic do a 29er frame, or pick up a second hand On-one ti29er (one currently on ebay for £425 - not me btw!).

Ridgeline 29er ?
Picking mine up on Wednesday, pictures coming soon after..... 😀

The Singular is very pricey - £1600... for less you could go full custom

eg Burls (very nice and full custom) ~£1K; Ridgeline ~£1K
or there's the US builders which you'll pay about the same as the Pegasus for.

Then there's the type of riding you'll be doing which has a big bearing on the choice...

Is that it? How niche 😉

Lynskey Pro 29er or Ridgeline for a few less £££££

Needs a few bits to finish it off, but ready to roll later for a first ride...

This is my 4th 29er hardtail. I can't explain it, but it just [i]feels[/i] fast than anything else I've ever ridden.

If it were me and I wish it was my wishlist would be

Jones (but "rigid")
Singular
Lynskey Pro

If you fancy a large 2010 Ridgeline for a big discount, mail me, I may be selling soon 😉

I believe On One are doing some new Van Nich made Ti 29ers (geared hopefully) early in 2011, or that's what they told me a couple of months ago.

How do you lads like your Lynskey Ridgeline 29-ers? I'm possibly interesting in getting one...

Oh, I can't wait for mine to arrive, later this month apparently....

bigdugsbaws - You still looking at selling the frame?

Nezbo...TD? 😉

May I recommend...

pedalhead - mate that look sweet, have you managed to fit everything in there without a frame bag, and how big is your rucksack

I was thinking tri bars are a good idea 🙂

Burls custom @ £1k is a bargain (mines being built!!)

Or go for Triton's custom built direct from Russia circa £650

Actually I have a custom frame bag on order from Eric as well :-). I can cram enough into the bags you see, along with a Wingnut Hyper 3, but the Wingnut ends up heavier than I'd like. The frame bag will have a hydration tube port so I can put a bladder in there, keeping the weight nice & low down. Will still need a bladder in my Wingnut though, but won't always need it to be full. I can highly recommend the Wingnut packs...alleviated some arm issues I had whilst using a Camelbak.

The tri bars are fantastic for dirt road (and indeed road) use. I had to put them over the bars as otherwise they'd foul on the Lefty, but even so I can still comfortably turn one gear higher when stretched out. Their main advantage is simply to have another position though.

couldn't you stick a roloff into a singlespeed frame?

Salsa El Mariachi Ti?
