29er Sticker Shock!!!
Wow, went out looking for a dual sus 29er. OMG, you can drop $4K without a sweat on one of these. All it takes is telling them you want a middle of the line product, doesn't have to be carbon frame, a Fox fork, good quality wheels, doesn't have to be tubeless, decent components, doesn't have to be XT, and voila, write us a check for $4K!
I drive a beat up 96 Jeep to the trails. I'd be the only guy there with a bike worth about 3 times what my car is worth.
The old 07 Stumpy dual sus 26er is looking pretty good right now and I KNOW I'm not going to part with the 08 Stumpy, 26er hard tail. I still might go for a 29er dual sus, but I think I'm going to have to look harder and consider used.
