    Though I would offer a heads up to T129 owners regarding removing the non drive side BB Cup.

    If you have the Park BB tool like this

    It wont go on because of the suspension linkage.

    You will probably need something like these two.

    I was half way through swapping my crankset when I realised. Had to take apart the sus linkage and get it out of the way.

    I decoupled the rear triangle to get the BB out, a friend helped with the thrutching, would have been hard on my own.

    Those tools would have made it easier.

    @singlecrack. Where did you get the frame from and for how much. Had a quick trawl of the interweb and could find one,

    OP thanks for he heads up.

    Very good lbs! What did you pay for it? I’m debating weather to sell my current HT and road bike to fund one, or get a frame and build one up.

    My 129-s may be up for sale soon. Will be in the form of a rolling chassis.

    I know, I am wondering if it’s the right road to go down but I have always wanted one.

    Hopefully a quick spin on one at Stif Thursday or Friday will help me decide.

    I have a hefty PPI refund burning a hole in my pocket! 😀
