Nah, 29's gave their place. I've ridden a few and never got on with them, despite the skinny rims, 2.1/2.2 xc tyres most run and the broom handle bars they've always felt heavy to throw about compared to my fat oafish Five. That thing just feels like a flicky quick 26" but a big bike in general, 29" feels like your trying to derail a train. Great for smashing distances thou and keeping momentum.
