Okay, so I am taking the weekend of from riding to rest a sprained wrist and spend time with the family. Plus Northern Michigan is under a winter weather advisory, the first part of the week the temperature were in the upper 70's to 80's!

So I pulled out from the garage my 29ers to show the board. Some of you have seen my bikes before, but I have an additional 29er in the garage. My brother left his IF Steel Deluxe in my garage after an epic ride from last week. It is a beautiful bike with a nice spec:

-Sram XO rear derailleur, 9.0 front derailleur, 990 cassette, PC-99 HP chain, 9.0sl shifters, and 9.0sl brake levers.
-New Truvativ Stylo 3 piece cranks
-Thomson post
-Snake skin Selle Italia SLR saddle
-WTB Laser Lite hubs with Salsa Delgado rims
-Bonty ACX tires
-Bonty XXX Lite Carbon bar
-Bonty XX Lite stem
-Pedros Blackwall grips
-Avid BB7 Disc brakes
-Time Pedals
-King headset with carbon spacers
-Marz Marathon SL fork
-Salsa skewers

This is great trail bike to ride. A little short in the top tube for me. But nontheless is a great steel bike. We are die hard Sram guys!!

If you notice, my Gary Fisher X-cal has been converted to a UBERCruiser. I commute to work Monday through Friday on the beast. 20 mile round trip everyday.

Then there is my Sugar 293, not much to say. Awesome bike.

Enjoy the pics.

Nice lookin' rigs! I especially like the IF. What size is it? I'm in the market right now for a 29er and I've been looking at Spicer, Sycip and IF.

Size

Totally custom for my brother, but it is considered an XL at 21.75 inches.

Yeah, I thought it looked big. That's just about exactly the same size I'd be looking at. It actually looks perfectly proportioned on those 29" wheels.
