Hey guys, so I'd appreciate some feedback on current steel 29er riders. What are your setups?SS, geared, suspension fork etc. Im currently helping out with the production of a new 29er series for a small bike company in Norcal and wanted to know how you guys feel about a steel 29er frame, 19inch weight would be around 4-4.5 lbs. eccentric bottom bracket and a built in bottle opener at the drop outs.

Sounds like any number of frames already on the market.

Low 4lb steel 29er frame? Suspension adjusted too? Hope you're using VERY good tubing (air hardening, like OX Plat or 853). That's very light and 29er forks are very long, and exert lots of bending when people ride into things.

I was thinking the same thing.
