69er
So my main ride is being retired, but I want to do something with it. It is a hardtail but I was thinking of throwing a single speed kit on it and maybe even swapping the front fork out for a 29er to make a 69er SS. Anyone have any thoughts / input on this? I figure the bike has old school slack(ish) geometry to begin with and currently has a 90mm front fork, so swapping that for a 29er fork with no suspension may be within its tolerances.

how big is your frame? you could have some toe overlap issues if it is a smaller frame.
you could go with a non corrected rigid fork and probably not change your ht angle at all or slightly.
try something like a surly 1x1 fork or similiar. I used to run 29'' wheels on mine occasionally.
