On page 37 of the latest Dirt Rag magazine (#136), there is an ad in which Diamondback bicycles claims to have introduced the 29er back in 1992. I never saw one back then, did you? That would shoot some holes in some 29ers claims that they were the first.
I would like to see aphoto or write up of the '92 29er just to see how it went over with the riding public.
