Aluminum 29" MTB

I have some exciting news for 29" wheel fans in the crowd. I have a limited quantity of a butted NOS 6061 tube sets that will build an amazingly durable and light trail-duty 29. The chain stays are tapered rectangle s bend and should provide for short stays and ultra rigidity. The front tubes are bi-ax ovalized and the set will be rounded out with an all new dropout, head tube and BB shell.

I am thinking of utilizing a tapered head tube. Wouldn't that be fun?
