29"er's Maiden Voyage

Just missing a few minor details; like crank-arm bolts, and chainring......

But close enough to give us a little taste of what a 29"er feels like:

I was noticing the same thing whne I was settingt he height based upon
measuing from thne cl of the BB spindle to the top of the seat.... The
measurement was correct hut it just _looked_ too darned short. After the
test ride (coast) I think it may actually be a 1/4"to 1/2" too high yet.
amazing what having "proportionally correct" wheel sizes can do, IMO


>What cranks are your going with?

For the right side a black Race Face Turbine LP crank/spider, for the left
side, a non-descript silver Sugino crank I scrounged up. It my not look
pretty but at least the price was right.
