Showtime Posted September 21, 2012 Share I really like the look of the Momsen STR29 frame. The sliding rear dropouts and 44mm headtube are very neat. No idea about ride quality though compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted September 21, 2012 Share Value for money the On One is an exceptional buy and I have owned both the 26'er and 29'er Inbreds .... they are both just great bikes. I have always been keen on a 456 though and would love to give on a spin as the closest I have come is a ride through the city on a 456 summer season ....

Ryanpmb Posted September 21, 2012 Share What are you wanting to do on this bike? You've mentioned frames that have different intended purposes. For example the Cotic BFe is a 26" frame that is generally run with bigger travel forks as a fun to hardcore trail bike whereas the Soda is a Ti frame that is intended for 100 -120mm forks as a XC/ trail bike. The Soul will be the steel version of this frame and the Solaris the 29" 100 - 120mm fork travel frame... Although you've mentioned a few steel frames, some of them have specific purposes and so their geometry will be designed according to this. Decide what you want the frame for, then compare the different offerings from the manufacturers based on this. Hairy and Percyzn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
