Nice inbred dude, I tried riding my Air9 as a 96er. Took some getting used to and the ride was slower... because of all the extra stopping on the trail to explain the extra weirdness of the set up.
Post your 29er!

Not a custom title.
Rides nicely. Some of the head angle is an optical illusion caused by having fork legs that angle forwards instead of being in the same plane as the steerer...
In fact, I measured it with an inclinometer on the head tube and it's bang on 70 degrees. The fork has all its rake in the blades instead of being offset. It actually has exactly the same offset as my fox Vanilla fork (45mm). Axle to crown the Niner fork is 470mm where the Fox is 485mm unsaved.

Can I have a go?
Allow me to introduce the new baby... Meet Jet, she is a sassy thing that loves all the good things in life. Please excuse the number of pics, I am a proud Dad.
The complete view:
Who birthed her
The instructions
Sexy rear end
The details
The bits that make it go.
Complete spec is:
Frame: Niner Jet 9 XL with RP23
Wheels: 240s hubs, Aerolite spokes, Stans Arch rims, red alloy prolock nipples
Fork: Reba RLT Ti Tapered fork
Drivetrain: SRAM XO 2x10 (26 - 39) (12 - 36) XX Cassette (I don't know why either)
Brakes: Hayes Stroker Carbon - Awaiting new Hayes Prime brake.
Bar / Stem: Ritchey WCS Alloy 100mm stem, WCS allow 1o deg sweep flat bar
Seat post: Thomson Elite 410
Grips: ESI Chunky black
Saddle: SDG Bel Air RL
Pedals: Crank Brothers Egg Beater SL
Tyres: Specialized Fast Trak 2Bliss LK (set up tubeless)
She weighs in at 12.38kg including pedals, I'm pretty happy with that, considering I had a C'dale Rush that was 12.6kg with a lefty...
This beast was lovingly assembled by Ben at Trailmix, it just works right from the start, so a massive thanks to him for the time put into it, if you need a mechanic, I recommend him highly!

keen to look at bar/stem rise etc, especially on such a tall frame. What sweep and width of bars are you running?
