multi speed 29r’s are a logical compromise between the elegant simplicity of the single speed and the versitile sophistication of a 27 speed full-suspension trail bike.

what’s old is new again. dig?

How are 1x9 drive trains on chains? Isn't the wild chain line something to be considered? Course I'm rather persnickety about such things.

I'd definetly consider that with a good price point. Yah that sounds pretty sweet as a commuter setup or a light trail bike. I’d definetly consider that with a good price point.
