Hey guys I’m new to the forum and though I’d add to this. I’m from the east coast of the US and it would seem from my perspective that the uk is moving away from the trends in the US at least. Every LBS I go into has more 29ers than anything else, and they look they they are becoming the norm on the local trails. I personaly hate 29ers, they just don’t do it for me, and last year I bought a “uk specific” hardtail and I absolutly love it. Best bike purchase to date. So if that is the direction you guys are moving in, then rock on and sign me up, cause in my opinion you guys are the only ones that are making stuff that makes any sense…and thats fine with me. 🙂
