So update: I found a frame from a 2012 Kona Kahuna Deluxe being sold on bikeman.com. I also found a Carver XC 470 fork as well. Both quick release so i can use my existing wheels.
I ordered both and my plan now is to test if my 36t oval chainring will clear the stays. If not and I can’t bump down to a 34t oval then I may return it. But for the price I think it’s a good place for me to start. The only other thing I’m debating is whether I want this to replace my Toughroad GX or if I want this to be it’s own bike. I’m leaning more towards making the 29er an alt-bar setup for price reasons (getting an integrated dropper lever with a road shifter might be too pricey at the moment)
