Hi all,
Does anybody here ride a 29er? What brand and did you have to import it yourself? I'm quite tall (197cm, 101cm inseam) and am seriously considering a 29er as my new mtb, but I'm not sure what the situation regarding frames, wheels and tires is like in SA.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I dont know of a local dealer that deals with them 29's. I am also quite big 1.97 and ride a 61 frame. My problem is finding racing wheels, all the bike shops sell wheels suited to smaller and less weighty riders.
There is a manufacturer in USA that make custom built bikes including 29's .Check out the site

you want to call Shan Wilson at Bowman's Cycles in Bree str Cape town.
They import Titus 29'ers. Gavin Rossouw recently won the 24hrs of Malmesbury riding one o those.
Beautiful bike.CycleLab also flogs the Fisher 29'er range but expect a few months before delivery since they order for customers who have paid a deposit for them.
