[Closed] What Full-Suss 29er for trail / singletrack riding? Convince me!

Paceman · 2012-04-12T09:50:52Z

Got my heart set on a SC Tallboy with 120mm up front. Forks sorted, just need frame and wheels. But can't help but think its a very expensive bike! Before I dive in, any other 29er full-sussers I should be considering (frame only or complete bike)? I ride South/North Downs and Surrey Hills singletrack mainly, with 4-5 weekends a year in Wales etc. Going from a 140mm 26er Full-Susser. 5'10" tall and looking for better grip / control in wet / marginal conditions which seems to be my nemesis. I've demoed a large Tallboy alloy in wet conditions and really liked it. A little steep in the headangle but i think the extra 20mm up front would sort that. Would maybe go for the carbon frame although it's alot more money! Or something else with a similar feel. Thanks in advance for any advice / recommendations. Paceman

Post purchase guilt over an expensive item is brief, post purchase regret by settling for cheaper lasts ages.

Very True 😆

I suspect it will be the Tallboy.
