Cactus Posted March 29, 2012 Share 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 Share Singular Swift. Can be run Single or geared. Also look at Surly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathrix Posted March 29, 2012 Share 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.

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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 30, 2012 Share 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. Cactus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted March 30, 2012 Share 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. Thanks very much for the offer but unfortunately I'm in Jozi . Who supplies them locally? or did you buy yours online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted March 30, 2012 Share All of the above are great bikes - I have the Niner MCR and love it. I would add Cotic - fine looking and performing machines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amasendeinja Posted March 30, 2012 Share 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.
