My 05 is single speed specific. My wife has the 06 29er version of this bike (that we bought from Price Point), and it comes with an extra right sliding dropout that has a derailleur hanger on it. It also has all the cable routing guides for front and rear derailleurs. I suspect from the photograph on Price Point that the 06 26er Inbred is the same. This gives you a lot of options. Geared or Single Speed, rigid front end or a suspension fork.

I'm looking at getting a lightweight hardtail soon as my full-sus is just a little too weighty to haul around the long-distance trails. Was looking at a Zasker but this could be worth a look.

I am running it as a SS rigid, with an on*One steel fork, with 32/18 gearing. A few things that I find diff/interesting- the short, and yet reenforced head tube and the Long top tube. I like those aspects, I am used to riding bigger bikes than fit me and I use it mainly as a "park" bike. I myself just picked up a 456 and Love it!

I was afraid of a broken link if the bike sold quickly, but you're right, it was a bit confusing. I removed the link to the home page, and added a link directly to the product page. Thanks!

The bike comes with a lot of bells and whistles for the price. Great post. The bike comes with a lot of bells and whistles for the price.
