Dumb. All the bike world needs is 20", 24", 26", and 700c. All this 29", 650b, 25", etc. crap is P O I N T L E S S. We have enough trouble getting manufacturers to come together on standards without changing the most basic standard of all. It's like the Lefty. It may work good but why address a problem that doesn't exist. I like to have lots of choices when I buy bike parts but that's just me.

The only current mountain bike standards are 26 and 29. Please don't try to tell me that manufacturers can't do 2 standards, when there are millions of bb standards, 3 different head tube sizes, a few axle widths, tons of different amount of spokes, different width of rotors, etc.

So because I haven't heard of a bike that's barely known, you just go straight to insulting my financial issues?

You can tell this guy hasn't ridden a 29er...

Also, you might want to educate yourself a bit on wheel sizes. The 700c is a 29" wheel.
