Anybody know anything on when this might be coming out? Strangely silent at one-one / Titus since Ed-O did his sneak peek review and bike rumour featured it.

Would be interested to know pricing, shock options, geometry and what fork might be being pushed with it if anyone has heard owt.

Cheers all,

P

I believe they are ordered and due at the start of next year. I don't know details though. I rode Brants in the Black Mountains and loved it. Ed was flying on his last week at Trans Provence.

Brant is in Taiwan so I guess he won't be answering soon.

You're kidding, right?

I'll bet you a Bullheart T-shirt he answers within the hour!

It's about 5am where Brant is now!

As Shaggy says the 29er is due to arrive in production form in the new year. I think there may well be 2 build options, but as yet details are not announced. Expect a vey good value price though.

As for the ride, I've been loving it and am choosing to ride this bike all the time in preference to anything else.

Cheers gents.

Any ideas on whether there might be a frame only or frame and fork bundle?

Sorry. Bit slow there. I did get woken at 4am by someone looking for household crockery, but missed this...

EG29's are ordered and we're off over to Kinesis to check on production on Friday.
They are slated for completion on January 7th, and I'll be seeing if we can't airfreight some over... that should only add a couple of weeks.

Working on some XX1 compatible wheelsets, and possibly and XX1 bike too. With an XFusion fork - as they do a cool 34mm stanchioned model.

We'll see.

So - frame only, or complete bike, early next year.
