29er. I think I'd be happy with a frameset of some sort. The wheels that came on the Roger are a WTB SX24/SingleDuty wheelset, so I could easily use those for both setups. I still have a total ***** for the Niner stuff, but I just don't know how realistic it is to actually get one in via the shop. Tech-wise I like the Kula, but it just doesn't have the attraction-level for me.
I like the Gary Fisher Ferrous 29er (not sure if it's available as a frameset). The Niner One9/Sir9. Redline Monocog Flight. On-One Scandal 29er. Van Dessel Ramble Tamble. etc.
Who's Hugo?
