3Kish race rig ideas?
Would like to stick to 29ers since I've been on them forever. Might entertain a 650b hardtail pending test rides, most of the FS seems to be AM types. I already have a rumblefish so that isn't needed. Currently racing a rigid singlespeed, and craving bit more speed throughout the course.
requirements?
100-120front, 100 rear if FS
2x10 or 1x11 setup
decent tubeless wheels to get me by
Niner EMD 9 3-Star X1 2015 from BikeBling.com
Niner AIR 9 Carbon 2-Star SLX 2015 from BikeBling.com
Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 29 2015 from Bike Bling
Niner Jet9 Carbon SLX Bike 2013 from Bike Bling
Giant XTC Advanced 29er 1 - Bicycles and gear for every type of riding - Giant, Lapierre, Santa Cruz, Diamondback, Raleigh, Felt, Fox & more
Cannondale F29 4 - Trek Bicycle Superstore
anymore?

This bike by far. Kona's spec beats all the others and this bike is fast. $2999 for the Big Kahuna. A couple friends are on the King Kahuna ($5299--upgrades to SRAM XO/XX1, etc.) and love it. I'm on a Hei Hei Supreme (short travel race light f/s model).

pretty slick looking bike. Would have to find a stocked Kona dealer local for a test drive.
