I'll admit it, for a frame builder, I am not well versed in mountain bikes. So I called my pal Erik at Peacock Groove and had him set me up with a 29er. It can be set up geared or as a single speed. Its set up ss now. Cane Creek wheels, Avid brakes, and good gravy, look at that Bass Boat blue!!!! Also, check out the custom dropouts...are those bitchen, or what? DW
