I've no particular interest in 29ers because of my stature (5'7). That frame is far too big for me anyway (ok for road use, was not too good off road), but wouldn't fit 29s as there's not much clearance left to the chain and seat stay yokes (you can see the chainstay yoke in the pic). And I've only just bought those forks (with proper magura mounts... none of this v-brake boss nonsense . Downside is that you have to deflate the tyre to get the wheel out as there's no QR system to the 4-bolt mount, unlike the EVO mount)
