Default I got a 29er!


I got a 29er from Dave Stockton (U-Turn). It came yesterday. It's so
beautiful!

I haven't gotten a chance to really try it out yet, but I can get on it.
After I've gone on a real ride I will give an update.

This is the setup:
KH saddle (blue)
Semcycle XL frame
Sun Rhynolite Rim
Not sure about spokes
Suzue hub
125 mm cranks
Nanoraptor tire
blue dust caps
blue Oddysey Jim Cielencki pedals

I bought the pedals from John Drummond at NAUCC. They were on his
Coker, and he sold them to me at a discount because they were the only
set they had!

I don't have a digital camera but here's a picture that Dave sent me:

.. yeah, for sure join the club Nikki! Fast, light, portable and very
cool looking... the 29'er is the ultimate urban commuter uni, IMHO.

Damn, your lucky. I'm stuck on a crappy 20" united doing 4 miles a day.
I envy you greatly.

Very pretty with the blue highlights. I like blue. Now you just need a
geared hub on it. Say "hi" to your mom. Have you taught her to ride yet?
