Hi all,
Does anybody here ride a 29er? What brand and did you have to import it yourself? I'm quite tall (197cm, 101cm inseam) and am seriously considering a 29er as my new mtb, but I'm not sure what the situation regarding frames, wheels and tires is like in SA. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks! |

I dont know of a local dealer that deals with them 29's. I am also quite big 1.97 and ride a 61 frame. My problem is finding racing wheels, all the bike shops sell wheels suited to smaller and less weighty riders.
There is a manufacturer in USA that make custom built bikes including 29's .Check out the site http://www.zinncycles.com/ |

you want to call Shan Wilson at Bowman's Cycles in Bree str Cape town.
They import Titus 29'ers. Gavin Rossouw recently won the 24hrs of Malmesbury riding one o those. Beautiful bike. CycleLab also flogs the Fisher 29'er range but expect a few months before delivery since they order for customers who have paid a deposit for them. |
