Ahhhh, a damn chainring guard! I hate the way that eBay seller makes all their merchandise sound like it's the best thing available.

My desire to have a 29er SS might make me buy one of these later in the summer. How much lighter than a Monocog would this be, being that it's aluminum?

Damn, I even like the color of the copper 29er. Those are pretty dope bikes for three hundred bucks. The slope of the top tube and the giant tires (look way bigger than 2.4") makes me want to learn how to do tricks.
If it came with disc brakes, even the cheapest oem hayes, it would be the best cheap bike ever.

I know I'm getting a SS MTB soon, but I can't decide if I should go with 26" or 29".
Any suggestions that might help?

42x16 stock on the 26, 42x18 on the 29 for about 69 gear inches either way. Internets SSMTB is serious business! Better budget for a new chainring.

I'm about 5'10", and as for the trails.. I have no idea.
As of now the only MTB's I've ridden are when I was a kid, so.. it would mostly just be for some casual fun, take it to my parents in the mountains when I visit, etc.

That might be a deal breaker for me.

This seems like a pretty good deal. My main worry is that the fork looks like it's been cut off really short and good high rise stems are harder to find. If I needed a new low end ssmtb this would probably be my choice.

yeah, they probably assume most people will run it as a commuter rig, which wouldn't be a half-bad choice
but that thing has got to weigh at least 35 pounds
