Cheers Bonsetter 2.25 is fine. Ta.
I thought the Whyte had a decent snap feel to it when putting power in, didn't feel heavy. Carbon wheels helped
mboy - how did your test ride go?
Sub 25" tt on the Large. I thought 29er were for big guys?
Too small.
They're doing an XL size as well, it's just not listed on their website or in their blurb yet. I've seen the demo in the flesh, it's HUGE!

Next Tuesday evening mate... Whyte rep is bringing a fleet down, and myself and a few of our key customers and a couple of my mates are off out over the Malverns for a couple of hours in the evening. Will let you all know how it goes!
Gotcha - thought you meant yesterday eve...
Are you B-O-Track?
Sat on a t129 earlier, pretty impressed. 5" 29er is a big bike to me, thought it would feel heavy and sluggish but suprisingly sprightly.
Like the idea of the 109 and have a demo booked in a couple of weekends time. Anyone else demoed once recently, comments?
6ft 2" so between l and xl. Anyone on an xl?
I am 6'2" and have a large T129S which is absolutely spot on, and this is despite having a long back for my hight. I don't think you will be needing an XL.
The T129 rides wonderfully, I uprated the wheels to something a bit more grrrr and stuck a Chunky Monkey on the front/Smorgasboard on the rear (I suspect a 2.3" is about as big as will fit out the back) to cope with the rocks around the Lakes better than the stock tyres (although will have a go with them in the summer, perhaps uprating the front to a 2.4 Ardent).
It is fast too - just looked at my GPS log from today's ride... top speed... 55.1mph! I didn't think I was going anywhere close to that fast at any stage either! Feels like you are riding at a normal kind of pace whilst covering ground with alarming rapidity!
