Can you all suggest a 29er frame..Can think of Salsa, On-One, Singular and the Jones of course. (i'm from wales so couldn't have one, Jones is so common round 'ere)

One of the boys in work is tempted and for the life of us my mind is blank on other makes 🙄

Gary Fisher, IF, GT, Blacksheep, Kent Erikson, Merlin.....

It might be easier to name companys that don't make a 29er. 😉

Wolfhound, Quiring, Spot, Lenz, Niner, Soulcraft...

That should give you something to look at to start with.

I rode a KHS Flagstaff the other day, lovely ride but very heavy. Never really been a fan of short-travel full suss, especially can't see the point on a 29er. But they do other frames.

Singular Swift is top of my list if/when it comes time to replace my Scandal 29er. Very nice and Sam is a top bloke to deal with.

If it fits (they only make one size in 29") the OSBikes.com Blackbuck is a lovely frame and the handling with the specific rigid forks or suspension forks is great (I have SC32's on mine now)

$500 for the frame, $60 for the forks IIRC.

If can afford a Singular, get one, otherwise On-One.

British, so you are not paying for American hype and all made in same country I think.

does anyone do a steel 29er that can be run geared/SS AND has braze-ons for a rack?

basically a Sir9 or an el mariachi with rack mounts

i know the surly will do this, but i'd rather have an EBB and also no brake bosses

Fisher - awesome. although i have to say, i bought a 69we ss and it is even better! looks like a freak bike but then if you are thinking of a 29er why not? the 69er is unreal.

He's after a 29er think he'll go Singular or On-one though
