I'm thinking about buying a 28" or 29". I see 28" Suns on
E-Bay and wonder if they are junk. Any suggestions for a
quality 28" or 29" that won't break the bank. Thanks for
your input.

A 29 is a 28 with a fatter tyre. So you can buy a 28, and
fit a 29 inch tyre later.
Generally, a 29 inch tyre is fatter, offers better
"suspension" and copes with difficult terrain better. On the
other hand, a 28 inch road tyre is narrow and light.
Think of the 29 as a broadsword and the 28 as a rapier. What
would your style be? I like riding my 28, with a skinny road
tyre, sod all grip, and 110 mm cranks, and seeing what I can
achieve with it. I have a 26 and a Coker for blasting across
really challenging terrain.
I imagine a 29 would make a good all round general
purpose road/commuter/tourer/off road uni if you could
only afford one.
The Nimbus takes a 28 or 29 inch tyre. it's sold in the USA
as a Yuni.
