Actually I think Chaos is correct. Now that I think about it, I don't believe Turner makes a small Sultan. I guess the medium doesn't have a taco.

Still doesn't change who I think the owner is.

Yes it is a medium, as Craig stated Turner does not make a small Sultan

Does that mean it'd be out on NYE, or would it stay in the garage?

Would either be going to the 29er DARK side?!

Chaos - interesting comment about building one with Spot rockers. Does that give the same 5.5" travel in the rear as it would on the Spot? What fork would you run?

Chaos! Rodell!! That only makes sense man. You've had every other Turner.

Hmm, maybe it went something like this. Turner guy buys a SSpeed Niner this year. Likes the 29" wheels a lot. Decides to unite his two favorite passions of Turners and 29" wheels...

I may be wrong, but it's a nice story though isn't it.

no i believe it'll give the Sultan about ~5" of travel. seems like most homers that are doing this are running the WhiteBrothers 135 TA.

Here's one with Push 5Spot rockers.
