Is that a 29er? :shock:

It is indeed. Why the shock?

I'm not sure... but every time I spot a 29er I end up feeling shocked.
Maybe it's the size of those big hoops that is intimidating.
I really dunno.

But wait, is this one made out of Columbus tubing?

Here's a clue....

Made by my fair hands, out of Columbus tubing.
Have you not tried the wagon wheels yet? I'm a firm convert now, for the type of riding I do anyway

Is that mild steel or stainless, btw?

Re:

Mild steel.
This was my first attempt at frame building so stainless is a way off for me yet.
One day though, maybe

I've done a bit of welding myself restoring old cars and I used to race Italian bikes made of Columbus SL tubes a long long time ago, so now I feel a little less intimidated...

Welding your own frames is impressive. Respect.
