Got this from a buddy of mine... Rides awesome, on the road don't even feel like a 29er!!!

It was 90% stock but he added gears

My mods/ the way he had it:
08 XXIX F&F XL
Bars- Answer Carbon / Easton ea30
Stem- Kore 80mm / Salsa 110mm
Cranks- Stylo Team with bashgaurd / Fire-X with basguard
X9 9speed drive trainw/ X9 shifter
Grips- White cork roadbike wrap
Brakes- Hayes Stroker Trail / Avid BB5

He even gave me the stock wheelset and tires so I can go single speed if so desired...

I had a XXIX+G a few years ago and loved it.... But times got tuff and it had to go.. been looking for another one since and he hooked me up with a KILLER deal.

I don't see this one going anywhere in the near future. LOL

Ryan,
Congrats. Nice bike.

A question about your handlebar grips. What is the road bike cork wrapped over? Is there a rubber or cork grip under the bar tape?

Also, how do those tires roll on the road?...more of a trail or road tire?

Just wrapped on the bar.... I still need to get the twine and shellac replace the current black tape. Should give it a nice touch. IMHO

Thanks
