The production bikes are due next week!

This is the 17" pre-production bike

I took it for a very short spin. Felt nice and I liked the fit. Should be spot-on with my dropbars.

Thanks for stopping by the Redline pit today Shiggy!

The Redline Monocog 29er will be on display throughout this weekend at the Sea Otter Classic just in case others want to check it out in person.

What cranks will come on the production. Was planning to upgrade them until I heard Truvativ might be one there. Thanks.

or do the 17" here and the 19" on the website look almost exactly the same? Maybe it's just a camera trick deal.

There will be a smaller frame size available...

Do they make a size smaller than 17"? Shiggy, would you go with the 17" frame because of your preference for a long stem and drop bars?

The Redline Monocog 29er will be available in 15", 17" and 19" sizes.

I would prefer a slightly longer stem on the stock 17" I rode but I did not feel cramped at all.

I guessed the 17" would fit me based on the ST angle and the ETT length (which is the same as the 19" Monocog 26er). I was right.

I'll be patiently waiting to hear feedback on this bike. I'm selling my Turner Burner and looking for a single speed 29er. Can't wait!

Mike, Who is RPM? I have not heard of them before.

I asked Mike today. RPM is mainly an OEM component manufacturer. Good basic parts at a good price.

RPM components are entry level cranksets from FSA (Th Industries - Taiwan). We've been running them on the 26" Monocogs for 4-5 years with no reports of any problems. Good stuff and affordable.

Monocog 29er sizes are 15,17,19 and 21".

Is the front wheel on the 29 a Q/R or bolt on style? Just wondering... I'm hoping to receive mine by the end of next week.... and it is disc brake ready right... the set of Avids I have laying here need nothing else (except new cables and housing) to get going...

Thanks

I think its quick release based on the end of the axle in the picture.
I'm waiting for mine too, ordered in San Francisco week and a half ago (19").
Its beginning to feel a bit like Christmas.
