 The mere fact 26ers have a special name, as opposed to 'normal bikes' tells you the story eh !

 I don't wanna 29er bike, so I'm out. I'll stick to my current bike, thanks.

 Yeah I really want to read everyone's collective wheelsize related woes...

SAID NO ONE EVER

Jesus it's like "hey guys want to win a free $8000 bike."

"No, the wheels are the wrong size" :*(

Actually I'm happy the fewer people enter the more likely I am to win...
  • 20 1
 Woah, who said I didn't enter? In fact, I entered before I found out what the prize selection even consisted of. Free stuff, yo.

 jackclark89, the chance of winning these bikes is almost zero, so why should I participate, if I don't even like them? If it is a dream bike I would go in, because... it is a dream bike and you have to take any chance of getting it. But to participate in contest that I will not win, and if for some god damn reason I do win it and I don't really want the prize and have to sell it. Hm, that sounds a bit pointless for me. And why don't they offer 26er bike as an option, so everyone can participate because he LIKES the prize and not just because it's FREE?
  • 5 5
 good! 24 rears are the best!
  • 4 2
 Well like someone mentioned, it's really a shot in the dark. But as long as there's a chance in a billion to win a $10,000 bike, I'll take it. Even if it means chucking the 29er wheels, replacing 'em with 26ers and totally screwing up the geometry for the fun of it....

Anyone out there try a 29er on 26" wheels?
  • 49 1
 Step 1: Stop crying.
Step 2: Win 29" bike.
Step 3: Sell 29" bike.
Step 4: Build 26" bike of your choosing.

 To be fair, I have nothing against 29ers or 29er riders. I just want a choice of bikes. 29er XC racers and whatnot are great, but they're not for me. It's not like the other bikes cost more or anything. In fact, the bikes I'd be more interested in, such as the Remedy, Slash, or Session, tend to cost less.

 yeah but there is nothing bigger than a fuel avalible from treks project one program

 They put together this contest to promote and expose their new bikes, I don't see anything wrong with this. If you don't like 29ers, don't enter and let someone who does win it.

 BE WARNED: "Project ON's" bike builder is a HUGE time suck... fun, but it can turn into a bit of an obsession. Now if only you culd get a Remedy or a Slash on there to customize, I'd be in heaven and waste even more time. AS it is, it's all XC and light-duty Trail bikes and the components leave a LOT to be desired, but it's still a fun waste of time. Just be aware, you can waste 4 hours playing around before you know what's hit you. Lymon is one of my Fav. colors now.BTW...

 Don't sniff a gift fish or don't look a gift horse in the mouth
  • 6 1
 I think with the prices that Trek has on their frames and build kits, the United States government has designated them as the company which is going to bring them out of the massive deficit one 8000 dollar xc bike or one 13000 dollar road bike at a time.

I built a road bike on their site for just under 20 000 without gst or import duties or shipping....

I could have a Carbon Wlsn and Dixon and a decent truck for that price. Not to say they dont have the technology behind their bikes but jesus is it that much better?
  • 5 1
 I have a few different mountain bikes, so I took a different approach and went conservative on a "roadie" Madone7 series, only starts at 13K. After all the proper choices, it rolled out to $18,000. Not including shipping and handling of course (and applicable taxes too no doubt). Fingers crossed.!! hahahaha....

As if they're going to give me a $20,000 bike.
  • 4 0
 7 Series is their ultra high level road frame. The 6 series is a bit more reasonable.
