I would have thought a 32 would be a perfect front chain ring around Wombat
You were not up and down the front too much or are you an elite rider that can ride around in 39 all day?
Post your 29er!

Thanks John,
If you are at the You Yangs at all this weekend you are more than welcome to take it for a ride.
My first ever self built effort!
So here it is, XL Niner Air9...bought the frame and wheel set off a member here, bought the rest in and built it up last week, hav'nt had a ride yet, other than around the block, it feels great, fits perfectly, will be getting it's debut at the race at Awaba in a couple of weeks..it proudly sits along side my 29er Solo One...and am looking for a dualie to complete the 29er set.
Reckon it's about the nicest looking bike i've had....

Well done Ray

Looks great mate well done. Dont believe you can lower the travel on the Minutes (cant on mine). It would be super racey in 80mm mode, perfect alrounder with 100 and a little vague @ 120mm. If you are around Melbourne you can borrow my FS 29er (Turner) as there are few tall enough to throw a leg over it - it is very beefie compared to the Air.

I will keep an eye out for you and do a quick swap. Have fun and make sure you try Travs newly designed Boulder Run.

Someone executed your idea!!
Thing is though if it was just about the cost I wouldn't mind so much but the fact that it was made specifically for me and all the waiting I've had to do...meh
Yep no shit!! asked if it had been sent yet last night and was sent the tracking number, turns out someone(won't mention the name) signed for my parcel at work at 7:08am in the morning and so far have had no luck today in tracking it down

fffffff.
Surely between fedex/parcelpost/thylacine/content it is insured somewhere...
that sucks big time. anyone with a titanium 29er in canberra had better be able to ride pretty fucking quickly.
I'm assuming that your work is not open at 7am? Postie or Workmate?
Pitchfork time.

With out going into to much detail its size is between large and extra large, 120mm headtube, 72mm BB.
Looks exactly like this:

lol yeah true. I just really like the grips and was given the 185mm rotor by a mate, so figured I'd give it a go. It makes braking a pleasure, so for the sake of 40 grams, I'll live with it. I think the big wheels need the bigger rotor to combat the rotational force.A good start would be getting rid of these 2 things I reckon.
Nice bike.
