29er Build Advice
I am having a local shop build this up as my touring/MTB/commuting/dirt road exploring do it all bike. I have road/fixed gear experience but don't know a lot about MTB components. I knew I want 29er wheels, disc brakes and a dirt drop style handlebar setup. I went to them and this is what they worked up for me. Everything seems like it is suitable but i am looking for input as far as component selection etc.
