AHA!
so thats what this thread is Really about.
Feeling insecure about a new heavier than expected bike.
well, it's a 29er, what you expect? big tires = big weight
also, 29er's are the new big fad, so of course they cost a bit
I'd prefer 26" wheels myself, lighter, easier to accelerate and climb.
(caveat, they don't make 29ers in my size, so I'm biased)
