Even better, they make a 29er that comes in a size small.

from East London, South Africa Date Reviewed: January 29, 2012 Strengths: Titanium durability, Great looks, smooth handling even compared to my carbon 29ers Weaknesses: Weight - its heavy. I have a medium size frame and find that the chain ring clearance is very poor - about 2 -3mm between the large (40t) chain ring and the chain stay. The clearance between the rear tire and the front dérailleur is also a small issue. I am using an XTR M980 top pull front dérailleur. I had to cut off the a piece on the dérailleur which will be used for a button pull frame to allow more clearance. This seems to be a common problem on some other 29ers as well (Karate Monkey is an example) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Waikato River Trails, NZ Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3300.00 Purchased At: South Africa Similar Products Used: Niner Air 9 (carbon frame) Bike Setup: Shimano XTR M98x, Fox F100 RLC, Mavic CrossMax 29ers.
