just wondering if anyone here has bought one of the orange 129 29er frames or bikes.

It looks like it’d be a nice mile muncher trail bike to get fit on once I’m healed from my tendon operations. Plus I’ve got all the bits to strap straight on to a frame.

not ridden it other than a shakedown ride but it climbed the short sharp test hill that i try all the bikes on, no wheel lift even with a 35mm stem on, pedals nice too.

Na got a plus bike Pipedream moxie so I’m really after something to try and just do miles on but don’t want an out and out xc bike. As I’ve got some 120 forks and 29er wheels group set etc makes sense to just find a frame and this seems to tick all the box’s fit,geo and a reasonable price etc as the only thing I can see I’d need is a headset.

Be good to know how you find it out on the trails when you get out there.
