RITCHEY P-29er

[haggis]

So i got rid of the Raijin which was a bit to big for me and still wanted to give this 29er thing a go. Spotted this and thought that it was well worth a shot

Must say im converted. Theres a particular bit of trail up round the mugdock/ west highland way area which when im fit takes a fair bit of effort to get up and over yet the P-29er just sailed up it no problem at all and all this when at present i am extremely unfit! i was honestly completely amazed by this. So amazed i had to have another go a couple of days later and sure enough i was right up to the top with no problem at all. On the downs it handles superbly as well. All in all im very happy with it and i think it looks fantastic. What do you guys think?

I will be shortening the steerer and brake hoses. Still waiting on the Ritchey headset to arrive.

Sublime! A definite future classic. The best thing with 29ers is they just keep getting better as you learn what they can do. Hope to see it soon

Nice one

The only frame that gets away with the bent down tube and look cool to me.

Enjoy!!

Cheers guys. I do need to get back out on a meet though. Been by here's for months and not been getting out in ages. I like that the frame still looks small enough but this doesn't make the wheels look huge.

I like the bent down tube as well but I also saw a new breezer lightning in Evans cycles with the bent down tube and it looked quite nice.

I agree 100%

Quite lovely, and I don't even like 29'ers.

I went for the 650b option over the 29er it suits my riding style better.
Still it looks awesome sweet build too.
