A beaut machine! Better watch out Dangle

 

Fork looks very similar to the Syncros one

It looks one and the same, just has the Ritchey branding now. I think Ritchey had bought Syncros when they launched the P-29er

I am rather happy with my 29'er, can't see me wanting baby wheels after being a big boy for so many years

 

But what a good looking machine.

The P-29er received slider dropouts due to the already-strong popularity of singlespeed 29er’s in the market. However the slider dropouts do bring a weight penalty, and for the 650B we wanted to cut some of that weight since some of our P-29er customers had already voiced a desire to have non-slider drops on that model. It’s tough to make everyone happy and we’re sorry we can’t offer both frames in both options!

 

There's no plans to change the P-29er at the moment, but that doesn't mean we never will.

Is it wrong to have more than one 29er, thinking of buying this and unwilling to part with your beloved 26"?
