And today I did......

Both frames look brilliant guys. Clearly plans have been afoot for a while but kept under the hats by the look of it.
Both should build up great, I do like the look of the Ritcheys, and have had a look at the 650b model they have.
Kaiser, don't be too harsh on the old schoolers who run 26'' and rigid
We might be far slower but we still have feelings :cry: :cry: Not everybody can touch the ground on a 29'er
I think we need to start a macretro build thread, maybe even a 'new' build thread.
If nothing other than to get Velo more involved

For Zigzag: Gonna buy a frame like that, you better get used to it

Rob, loving the designers head is that what keeps you on small wheels ?

Sorry I missed that.
No its why I came on RetroBike and not Pink Bike, Single Track or Trail Scotland.

Re:

These days the emphasis is on fat bikes and 29'ers, I ride 26 and rim brakes probably every day.
Don't get me wrong I like variety and freedom of choice and long may it continue.

Re:

26" wheels for me too but that's more of an aesthetics thing. Bikes my size just look daft with the bigger wheels, for the taller gent though I can see them as a good option (and similarly look better aesthetically with a bigger frame).

I'm also normally rigid! Nothing to do with bikes that though

Im waivering on the 29" department :? For a giant like me its a good thing.
Just cant decide on build or buy complete. I'd love to take advantage of the crc type deals on frames and forks.

Re:

i can't talk myself into the full-fat wagon wheels, but i've made a concession and am trying the half-way house that is 27.5

Re:

I'm sure the fountain of knowledge will be along very soon ..................... but you 29'er guy are you saying that 29'ers are physically bigger bikes, like stand over hight for instance?
