New ti 29er Commy looks nice. Edit, says 29" on the site where the pic was, but looks like it may be 27.5. Dunno.

It does, yeah looks like a 650b by eye, never yet ridden a 650b, must do sometime. But I think for this bike I want a 29.

Black cassette is presumably the "cheaper" XX1 groupset.

Just seen a buddy's new medium Sync in the flesh. It looked smaller than I expected, not a big bike.

mattjg - just do it ๐Ÿ˜‰ My sync is a large and I'd say the same, every tube has been carefully considered, the geo sits you fairly forward which makes for a lively ride if you want to cane it. What did you think of the detail? I love the clover leaf top tube, tapered ht and chunky disk brake mounts. Did you get a test ride?

Yes it looks a well made frame.

Didn't get a test ride yet. The owner is a couple of inches taller than me (5'10" I estimate) and was happy with the fit and ride on a 70mm stem, he is defo a caner. Several people commented it had plenty of go too.

We'll see, I'm in no rush, and there is the small matter of fifteen hundred smackers plus parts costs to consider.

I certainly wouldn't want a small, that's settled.

This is my latest project. I run a small company specilising in producing titanium frames both custom and off the peg. I built this 29er+ for endurance racing, 12hr events etc.

I have made some comparison pictures with the 29er+ frame and normal 29er wheels
