One more, clearance looks decent. The top two are exiwolfs, then two IRC tires, then Maxxis.

This frame would be my choice over a karate monkey for sure.

Here is the Nano.

I just picked one up this week - frame and matching fork. I'm lucky and live nearby where they're made. Working on building it up - might be a week or so. This will be my first 29 and I'm anxious to get it up and running. It will also be my first disc brake set up too. All kinds of new stuff for me, but it will still have Suntour thumbshifters
The welds are smooth and tight. Nice basic black paint job. Can't beat it for handmade USA steel. I'll post some pics when done.

Look forward to seeing the build.

Is that a proto frame? i can't believe it doesn't have a chainstay bridge. What am i missing?

nothing?

Those are production frames. No bridge.

Currently have three in stock and building one for a client. I'll post some pics prior to delivery.

It's not unusual to see bridgeless chainstays, I believe. My Bontrager didn't have them, my Lemond cx bike doesn't either.

hurry up and get that thing together so you can go on the secret mudbats ride at YS.

Chainstay bridges are not needed on bikes, they offer very little in terms of additional side to side rigidity.

BTW Scott is one hell of a cyclist, one of the top five at any race in Michigan.

My Monkey doesn't have one either.

I might have to pick one of those up to setup next to

the Monocog. Two 4130 29ers that can be set up SS or Geared (MC with tensioner hanger) with sussy corrected unicrown forks? I'm drooling on my keyboard. Cool looking bike too.

Here's pictures of the final Q Ball build. Nothing fancy at all - just stuff that works. It was a great way for me to get out and try a 29 for the first time. Only a couple rides so far, but I enjoy it.

The Q came out very nice! Have fun on it.
