That really looks hot. What happened to the SS idea?

 

 

 

I saw a guy yesterday morning again on one but he had the carbon rigid fork on his. It looks really nice.

That could well be Jerrard - I bought his 29er Frame, he got the SS frame with the sliding dropouts as the replacement.

 

If it is his, it's VERY light Shocked Big%20smile

 

So far, for mine, I've got the On-One wheels and the RST forks (both that Kiwi - Planet-X sells), I'm putting a X.9 Front Derailleur on (Jerrard informs me that this gives the best clearance), KCNC SC Wing Stem and Flat Bars. the rest I'm deliberating on (a question of want vs cost vs 'bits' that I have!)

So it is recommended to get a top pull (obvious) regular swing front derailleur for these frames or the top swing one?

Definietly go for a top pull. Here's one I finished this morning (Shimano Deore LX), on it's way to the Cape tonight:

So that is the top pull, conventional swing (like road bike) that has been chopped like in the pics you posted?

That's the one. The SRAM X7 and X9 FDs have enough clearence but if you trim a X7 or X9 Top pull you get that extra bit of clearence there as well.
