As per title. Looking for 29er single speed options here.

Need all day comfort for touring on-off road. Going to be rigid with crest rims on hope pro 2 evo trials/ss hub.

Name them please.

Salsa El Mariachi.

Alternator dropouts make tensioning a piece of cake (no brake adjustment needed), works well rigid.

Mine has Exotic carbon forks and Pro 2s on Crests as well - lovely bike, very fast.

Just buy an Inbred and spend the rest on beer.

I have an inbred ss in 26" and its faultless. Might go that route again. Did look at skookum. What does the skookum ride like?

Cotic is pricy. Skookum looks better value. After riding my ss 26" inbred something tells me its worth three times its sticker price and I'd be better off getting one in 29.

Inbred + salsa cromoto?

all 3 bikes in that pic were mine at some point. The blue jones was ace with a unicrown, Only replaced with the space frame as the bonus pixies paid a visit so I could get something more freaky. If I'd only got the diamond and Unicrown I wouldn't be disappointed, still a fantastic bike. The unicrown is a little bit more forgiving than the truss as well, which is as stiff as a stiff thing!. A friend in comparison said the truss was stiffer Fore/aft then his fox 36
