Lately I have been really wanting a 69'er. I like the idea of the 29" up front, with a durable 26" in the rear. It really appeals to me.
Then I remembered the idea of the Specialized Epic. I have seen a bunch of them around lately as frames, and I could build it up right.
Here's my questions:
1. Do you think the geometry would be so far off this bike would no longer be fun to ride if I went to a 29"? I was thinking the Fox 32 F29.
2. Any way to run this bike as a single speed aside from using a SS tension device?
I think this is a hell of an idea, and if it worked I'd build one up for my wife too. I think she'd dig it.
