I was just going to post about the KHS's. It currently has two, one is steel framed (Solo-One SE, $769msrp) and one is Al w/ a CRMO fork (Solo-One, $549 msrp). I know someone who just picked up the Al one and races it (in action).

Anyway, here's a link to the '07 stuff: http://www.khsbicycles.com/02_29_series_07.htm

The '08 stuff will see an expanded line-up of 29ers, including a full-suser KHS Flagstaff.
