Sort of an experiment - I had the frame kicking around for a while and thought about building something like a 29er but for lighter trail use and also wanted to try running tubeless. It's a nice light frame and nothing on it was modified. I'm running it fixed and it is a challenge riding cross country. Can't keep up with the boys on the regular bikes, but then, I'm playing a different game.
