AfricaMike Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Thinking about a steel frame 29'er hardtail. I want to build with top-end components so I'm looking for a quality frame. I've seen a couple but they're all designed for singlespeed setup. Who manufactures high quality steel frame 29'ers these days? What would you buy?
Baroudeur Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Singular Swift. Can be run Single or geared. Also look at Surly.
nathrix Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Or Ritchey P-29er if you are able to get your hands on one. Ride it ss or geared and you will ride something designed by the legend himself which will also become highly collectable if not already. Edited March 29, 2012 by nathrix™ ® ©

Chat to Dangle a.k.a HairySack..... he knows about 29er's and roll's a super hotttttt Ritchey I've heard a lot about the On-One Inbred's... and they are affordable: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROO29VD/on_one_inbred_29er_vertical_dropout I also know that Ragley has a a nice option as below although it's Ti: http://www.ragleybikes.com/our-frames/td-1/ And then one day, one day (after I get my S-works 29er) I will start saving for a Lynskey. Price is hectic, but it's awesome....

AfricaMike Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Niner MCR Wow, she sure is stunning!!!!
Hairy Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 On-one Inbred is a great ride. The frame is also exceptional value. Are you in CT? If so you are welcome to give mine a spin. AfricaMike 1

Thanks very much for the offer but unfortunately I'm in Jozi . Who supplies them locally? or did you buy yours online?
Eldron Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 All of the above are great bikes - I have the Niner MCR and love it. I would add Cotic - fine looking and performing machines!
amasendeinja Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 As per Eldron, Cotic Solaris/Soul should definitely be on your list. www.cotic.co.za. You're assured of brilliant service too and they're up the road in Centurion, so you can actually go have a look and more than likely get a test ride in. Speak to Matt. AfricaMike 1
Pronutro Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Niner, otherwise On One Inbred if cost is an issue
Iron Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 When Dangle aka hairysack is done with his 2 day ban, ask him for some pics and info on his Ritchey . its a fantastic bike.
