Well, I've been wanting a 29er HT as another bike for a while now. Ibex is going to send a new rear swingarm for me to replace, so I don't think I will get rid of that frame anytime soon.

LAME... nothing worse than a broken bike.. at least you weren't hurt. Last guy I saw break a bike had to have surgery... ON HIS FACE ... shattered jaw.

I demo'd one last weekend and I'm now saving my money for some big wheels (although maybe not the Ells, can't decide yet). Brewmaster, you should check it out if you get the chance.

I am looking for a HT and I believe Ellsworth only makes full squish 29ers.

The 2008 Kona Kula Deluxe 2-9 is a helluva deal. I'm curious about the weight though.

since they are now using scandium on a lot of the frames, that should address the weight problems of their older frames

It'd be a fun bike to ride for a day or two, though.

I asked Brian about the Hei Hei 29, and despite it being scandium, he said the Canzo 29er was a little lighter.

So, don't rule out the VooDoo's also. Matter of fact.. an Aizan (sp?) is on sale in the marketplace right now!

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. They are sending me a new swingarm, so no welding needed.

I was originally thinking I would want a HT 29er, but now I'm having second thoughts. I guess I need to try one out first.

I rode the Gary Fisher Paragon at the Trek Demo last week. I was thinking full suspension 29er until I actually rode a HT 29er. I really like the feel and the quickness. I'm not a crazy rider doing big drops, so I really don't need FS.
