I just got back into bikes a few months ago after decade..got the Kona back in December and It's alway a joy to ride! I never thought about getting a 29er before...saw the Sawyer a few weeks ago and I said I got to get me one. I've had it 2 weeks now and love it! I got it basically to replace my Electra Cruiser for the beach. I was riding through yards, ditches etc, anywhere I wanted to go! It is a hoot to get on and ride...talking bout feeling like a kid again! I'm 5'91/2 and got the 17.5" and its just perfect. The Big Apples 60s I ordered just came in last night but I had to leave for work (4 weeks) And I remember the package saying they were 28". I got a 26" beater 4300 I got to ride for 4 weeks now.
