haha great test ride there. i think im more curious to see if you bike is not as appealing to me as others because of the green than to actually see it for any other reason.

Still kicking.
All you 29er haters probably still think that this Internet is a passing fad, right? The hardtail world is headed one way: big wheels.
Even this guy is riding a 29er.

Umm partial fail. While xc hardtails are bound to be 29er's, you'll likely see the longer travel hardtails either stick with 26" or go the 650b route. Then there is the DJ/Street(not commuting street)/Slalom bikes sticking to 26" or 24".
I'm just waiting for more 650b stuff to be made so I can do an all mountain hardtail with a 140mm travel fork with 650b up front and a 26" rear and will likely use a nicolai b-boxx for it.

Ideally it would be a full suspension, but there's that price issue. For example, an Evil Imperial or Banshee Morphine frame is around $700, while an FS frame might be twice that. There are even a couple of burly complete HT's out there that cost less than an FS frame. Some of it will depend on your riding style too, since a hardtail will be probably be a little lighter.

Ok, thread got cleaned up. Keep it to 29er discussion, no attacks or discussion between the wheel sizes.

Seriously, you might as well close this thread. It has crossed its "use by" date.

Long travel hardtails are the bomb. Just the absolute bomb.

I ride XC/trail stuff, so I have no personal experience here, but I am genuinely curious - other than the fact that a long travel hardtail would be cheaper, what is the benefit of using one instead of a long-travel full susser? It seems to me that if you need 140+mm of travel on the fork, you'd also appreciate some rear travel.

Testimonial:
29'ers can kill anyone they want! 29'ers cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These bikes are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this 29'er who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the 29'er killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a 29'er totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe that 29'ers have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
29'ers are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These bikess are totally awesome and that's a fact. 29'ers are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can't wait to start riding next year. I love 29'ers with all of my body (including my pee pee).
