99.9% probablity this is wistful thinking, but does anybody know of such a thing available off-the-shelf? ...or even as a botique item that's been built and sold enough times to be prove... I've looked at a few makers' measurements and, extrapolating from "XL" it seems like "XXL" might nail it. The only "religious issue" is 2" more seatpost setback (2.5 preferred - to give a little room for adjustment) than I have on my FS. (which is dialed in by virtue of a 2" setback seatpost and having the saddle all the way back. The reason I don't just get an "XL" frame off-the-shelf is that I don't want to use a setback post - I'm addicted to the ThudBuster.... Oh, and a sigle-speed config with eccentric BB/Vertical dropouts or Rohloff dropouts...and S&S couplings... Intended use is for something I can store in the trunk or rooftop box of my vehicle and forget about until a riding opportunity unexpectedly arises. ----------------------- PeteCresswell |

Me too, loved to see somebody do a single pivot frame too for 29" wheels 25" tt min. Could be an aftermarket rear triangle for XL bullits/ jokers? When your over 6'4, bike need to get bigger, that means wheels too, at the cost of wheel base. Zok makes a 29 front fork, love to see it as a z-1 though. Rock gardens would just disappear under those wheels.
