Hey, Cycle Solutions guys - looks like Santa Cruz is coming out w/ a 29er (no, really):
Anyway, we did a ton of research, ended up with something we’re really stoked about, and we’re going to make a 29er. It’ll be out before Interbike, fingers crossed. It’ll have VPP suspension. It’ll weigh a whole lot less than some other bikes of similar configuration. It’ll have kickass chassis stiffness, we promise you that.
