But if you have to have a Chumpa to try a 29'er it all good.

I am interested in all 29ers at this point, Chumba or otherwise. If they have one, it wouldn't hurt knowing more about it.

I'd love to try a 29er SS, but someone wouldn't loan it out this week...

Speaking for myself, a 27" balloon tired Schwinn cruiser was the first MTN bike, premanufactured MTN bike days. 26" production bikes looked oddly small wheeled when they came out.
The Klunkers on Mt. Tam ridden by the pioneers were also Schwinns. Would that not make them 27" also ?

650b looks viable. A standard 26" Fox TALAS will fit the knobby with no modification. Kirk Pacennti (sp?) is from the US. He with Panaracer have made the new quality tires in the 650b size.
Now what happened to that old cruiser ?

The EMD is a basic geared frame from Niner that I have seen hanging from the rafters usually priced around 499 if I am not mistaken Tani?? Donkey??

The One9's are first generation.
