Has anyone put a 29 on the front of a Mk1 Ti456?
Didn't Drit magazine test one like that?
can't be any worse than...

Not on a mk1 but yes on a 14" van nick one , MrsbeanZ only complaint was it wondered on steep climbs.
Swapping to flat bars would have cured that IMHO . I'd post a pic but Flickr just won't work on my tablet.
I did that to a ti copy of a Marin Rocky Ridge frame, which I also single speeded. Went rigid using the 26" On One carbon fork rather than the 29er one. It actually rides very nicely, but I ended up flipping the stem and running flat bars to keep the front end down. I suspect with a 29er fork it would have been quite nasty, works very well with the current set up.
I suspect you'll have to try it to find out, but it might work...

Need to be careful with travel (ie front wheel hitting the down tube) and foot 'clearance'.

ive done it to my 2006 cove hummer with the on one carbon fork - works a treat tbh.
Did it to me ti Voodoo the other year whilst my Maguras were off for service.
Rode really nicely.
