 Does, looks like a great option for a 29 trail rig!

 I must admit it looks nice for a 29er. I would be tempted... It is just this tyre clearance- I mean it is tight in there...

 Doesn't look too bad in the pic, the brace from the seatstay to the chainstay isn't directly in front of the tire, it's on the side If it were directly in front-as it looks in this pic it would be a bad situation! here's link to clearance pic. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/9466236/

 Width would be an issue. esp with any flex on the tread. they might address that further along the proto stage. It's kind of like an AM version specialized Epic Evo. Great for fast trails, but was limited to a 2.2-2.3 tire, granted in 2010, not much more than a 2.2 was available for 29ers...

 To change the subject- that dropper cable routing- perfect form and design. Beautiful.


I am honestly falling for it- and i do despise the looks of 29ers from the bottom of my heart. In here I think it is the SO that makes it looking so-erm-what is the word-balanced? It does simply look nice. Banshee 1- Me 0.

 On the other hand this new Sight looks fugly. Strange how yo can make such a beautiful looking bike and then wack it next to this thing called Sight. Bizarrely similar bikes but such a different final look...

 There is room for a 2.5" tire on this frame... the photos are a bit deceptive, when you see from different angles you will see there is lots of room.

 It is not about what you can fit in there but how much clearance you have once you fit it. Mud clearance I am thinking here... And there is not much room for mud in there...

 15mm all round with a 2.5" tire enough for you?
