Looking to get a 29er. Been checking out the geometry and specs and cant decide

What is the difference between these two bikes? :madman:

 

[Calhoun]

rigid steel frame singlespeed and carbon fiber full squish multi gear. not much difference I can see...

 

[Seanbike]

Monocog is a hardtail, Tallboy is full suspension. Pretty darn different in design and price. If you like comparing oranges to apples your on the right track.

I think the headtube angle is 1/2 degree different. That's all.:ihih:

Neither bike is very nice...you should look at a Ridley Noah.

It's a 700c bike that will take at max 23mm tires and it'll be lighter and stiffer than either the Monocog or the Tallboy.

I recommend you get a Monocog, but make the check out for the price of a Tallboy. That way you get the best of both worlds.

how about jones spaceframe vs. motobecane fantom 29er, that would be a better comparison.

 

[TR]

I thought that the 29er forum had gotten slow but these posts prove it beyond a doubt.

 

[Ike Turner]

And I expected you all to be a little more creative than this

[FoShizzle]

honestly, I would choose the Monocog. I would not want to be seen on a Tall Boy - that would be more embarassing than being caught riding a Vespa

 

[Ike Turner]

Like a Hoover and a Harley the only thing they have in common is the position of the dirt bag

 

[bcaronongan]

i needed that laugh this evening...thanks!

 

[medieval]

You buy the Tallboy, and I'll trade you for my Monocog.

 

[Ike Turner]

Any chance you could post pics of your ride and a closeup of the rear end conversion to geared.?

 

[the mayor]

Get a Surley...they are heavier,,,,and more is better

 

[dpastore22]

lol great comparo

I would go for the Flight model of the Monocog... Santa Cruz picked the gheyest name ever for a 29der. Wait... I already have the Flight.
