As it is, your right it is a 29er but all you need to do is change the tires and there you go... I had it setup with 3.0, and regular 2.5 and 2.35 29er tires but as I mentioned, I was using it on a trainer and the big boys don't fit on it so it is what it is... I am using the bigger tires on my other bike. Thanks for your response...
