To all you 29er's out there!

Sounds like you wanted a cyclocross.

And I knew I should've stayed away from this thread. It's becoming as bad as the guardian bike blog one this week.

Hey, we ride bikes. Track bikes on the road, polo bikes on the road, and we like franke bikes.

I only want a 29er because I was a shit BMXer but loved the bomb proof recklessness of it, of letting my anger out in a controlled way by putting myself in a situation I shouldn't get out of but letting the bike and such do the work and feeling the elation of coming out without a splash.

I have no problems with anyone who wants a 29er just to pootle down the shops. No problem at all no sirree. Just as I have no problems with a Ferrari being used for similar. Whatever brings people happiness. You're keeping someone employed, and you worked hard for your money... do what you want.

Sounds like you want a 26er.
