This reminds me of the Evil Sovereign/DOC frame that I have looking for. This would make the perfect 69er, I think.

This was a bike I built up over the summer. The monster ring and cog were an attempt to get the On-one other doofer to work, which was a miserable failure. The Height-Rite and bar ends are gone and I'm either going to be buying a Soulcraft convert and trying again or tweaking this frame into a home-bulit extracycle...

Unfortunately, don't think I've ridden it in almost a year...been doing a lot of road riding. When I finish my Mark V...it'll probably sit even longer. Great bike tho.

nah. i tried an experiment with a 29er rigid fork and wheel up front a couple years back when in colorado, that more or less replicated the geometry of the pike/26er front end angle and height.
the steering with the big wheel blew goats, particularly on the tight and techy trialsy stuff i like. and that was on trails with less of that kind of stuff than around where we live.
no real interest in the 29er thing otherwise anyhow.

i am not primarily a MTB'er, but when i do it's always SS.
my current ride is a Giant Two2one
before that was my Rock Lobster, which i loved dearly, but it never fit me quite right.
it was intended to be a dual slalom frame, and was always too small for me.

16-18 x 42 indeedy. Was towning it mostly, knobbies for the winter, slicks in the summer. It goes on flat rolling stuff quite nicely, great for bangin' over rocks.
I've gotten another XT crank with the inner ring. Once I get the Paul Melvin™, I'll have access to four ratios, then the dirt and I get acquainted, and polo too. I'd like to lose the fork and put a rigid one on in the spring.
