Grips are indeed ODI X-Trainers, and fortunately the purple doesn’t clash with the Hope!
Lovely build, but I can’t help thinking it might be more manageable riding 650 or smaller for her size.
Was waiting for the wheel size debate to appear! 😐
She’s spent the last year or so riding a 26″ bike, had a few rides on my 29er and felt immediately more comfortable. I suggested she might want to try a 650b bike, but she wasn’t interested and wanted to go for a 29er. This one only looks out of proportion because of the 15.5″ seat tube, it’s actually got a longer TT than her outgoing 17.5″ frame!
Very nice, nearly bought one in black literally days before the Dom posted the Sync proto pics, it was no contest after that. I hope she enjoys every minute of it.
Hehe, I know how you feel there too! I was not far off buying an FF29 last year, glad I waited though as this is mine…
