Redline's new rigid SS 29er will be priced starting at about $500. Look for the bike to be in shops by mid-March.

I thought H-bars were for riding to the liquor store...

I think im buying one...didnt even know what it was until this thread but at that price...damn.

 

[DHS]

i almost hate to say it.

but i really like that..

 

[partsbara]

29" is the future




and the earth is flat

 

[DHS]

i was gonna quote you, then i saw the rest of it.
haha agreed.
i was just thinking for a fast easy way to get around. cheap beater

 

[BigMike]

Those wheels look abnormally large, and that bike is missing some gears

 

[stinkyboy]

I know a couple guys who won't ride anything else but 29ers anymore.

Then again, there are people who only ride unicycles...

rode one of the 26" monocogs yesterday, and it was a ton of fun to zip around on. I could see me really digging a 29er

 

[cannondalejunky]

i dont really see the point...is it mainly just a commutor or what?

It looks like a 29" rigid singlespeed mountain bike to me.

And now, it's even better.... the Monocog has a $469.99 MSRP!!!!

According to the spec sheet.

These bikes will be available NEXT WEEK!

RPM components are entry level cranksets from FSA (Th Industries - Taiwan). Redline's been running them on the 26" Monocogs for 4-5 years with no reports of any problems. Good stuff and affordable.

Monocog 29er sizes are 15,17,19 and 21".

 

[stinkyboy]

Look for them on Craigslist in 2 weeks at around $225.

I'm a pussy, I need gears. If it was a rigid with gears, I would be temped. But I will stick to the Rigid One for now. 8 speeds are better than one.

It does look good though.

am I missing something... why is that such an amazing deal?

Seems like there are a lot of very solid HTs out there priced around $1000. Remove the fork and the gears (what, $450-$550 worth of stuff?) and the value of the bike falls right in line with this one.

Or is it more that there aren't many solid 29ers offered at this price point?

No there isn't.

I think this would be a good bike for 2 things:

#1. Rolling around town

#2. Cruzing for some free love from N8

i just dont get that, if its two wheels why can't it be all good? i think id be so much more stress free in life if i could have that outlook about everything else.

dood you wouldn't have to cruise, just say hey N8....29r, and well
you know how the rest of the story would go
