I went for the medium 29er too. It arrived today, happyface, I feel a Wee bit like I stole it at £279.
I've had a SS mtb before but moved it on due to the comedy gearing and therein lies the rub. I have a fixed road bike at around a 68' gear its able to get me over just about anything and 70 odd miles of a Sunday is no problem. So, the road bike is practical and useable on a daily basis.
A SS mtb though, it's just a toy isn't it.

Toys are awesome tho :-)

So, I got the Verenti round the trails for the first time today, and am so happy with it! I pushed the limits of my (albeit fairly average) MTB skills pretty hard and basically spent the whole ride smiling ear to ear. I will probably pop a slightly wider and gripper front tyre on, and swap the cranks out for some more aesthetically pleasing ones. other than that its perfect out the box!

So I'm 5'11" and went for the Medium 29er, it comes with quite narrow bars and a very short stem which make it feel pretty short out of the box, but it's definitely the right size.
I've not been able to ride it properly yet, will report back once ive changed the bars and stem and smashed it round the woods a bit.
