To all you 29er's out there!

Crisis averted. Turns out I had massively over-estimated the stem length I need. So no hoses required but I need to get a different stem :-/

It's probably way too short for you B, but I have a 50mm 0 deg Thomson spare http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=6806

Was going to put this in Bike porn. But could do with the abuse.

....and for fans of steel (like myself). A nice steel Grammo with carbon fork, and 1x9 gearing. Not porn worthy, but I really like it.

Thanks, mate. The length would probably be alright but the zero rise would put it too low I think (without a truly ridiculous spacer stack).

I'm basically aiming to recreate the riding position of my 26er in the first instance as I find it pretty comfortable to ride. I've got an 80mm +17.5 stem and some more spacers arriving today so I'll see how that goes.

I got the cranks off the 26er yesterday so can pop them on the 29er to have a look at pedal positioning/saddle height etc.

Mate, you are like my bike-lust doppelganger I swear. Everything I've seen you post pics of is fucking awesome.

Chris King also do a single-speed disc hub. Which I knew about, but seeing it made me realise how smooth it is and how lush it looks.

$17OO for a pretty standard steel frame with a few 'arty' touches?

Not keen on the stickers, but the frame and forks are nice.

pardon. sh*t englis :D

yes, i know that the 29er is on the left, is a cannondale??

No, Intense.

Speaking of carbon, what's the general view of the On-one carbon 456?;
