Well, that's not exactly true, because the purpose-built 29ers have slightly different geometries, but it's true enough. So I would look into either buying a purpose-built 29er, or modifying a mt. bike frame. I suspect that "all you have to do" is adjust the brakes location. Somebody else will know more about it than I do... Maybe on the Mt. bike forum?
I was responding to Blue Order's post.
You responded that it won't work, even though you say that's not what's being discussed.
