Here's a picture of my 29er, a Motobecane Fantom 29 Pro. It's got a Scott Pro Comp XC saddle, XTR groupset, Avid Juicy 5's, a Kalloy LaPrade seat post, TruVativ Fire-X external bearing crankset, Cane Creek headset (don't they all?), WTB double wall wheelset with XTR hubs, Ritchey Comp bars & stem, and Tora 29 Race fork with "pop loc".
And my HT 26er, a Motobecane 400HT:
They're the same bike except for wheel size, the Form E3 saddle, Tektro I/O mechanical discs, a Tora 318 fork, and the crank is not an external bearing style.
I feel MUCH more at home on the 29er. It's night and day. When I hop on the 26" bike, it feels like a kids toy. I should sell it before it gets trashed.
I'm going out to my parents for the weekend, and possibly the entire week. I'm going to start out and see how far I can get. My guess is about 8 miles, as Huffman did. I'll keep yinz posted. It's going to be in the 90's this weekend, so, ouch.
Rabbit, that Super V is a badass machine. Some older guy used to ride one around the strip at night when I worked the door at my buddy's club. He'd stop by with it and I'd get real jealous, although they never made one that'd fit my fat ass!
