I think this was the first ride after I first got it:

2011 Xtc 29er provided by Fullerton Bikes

Nice ride! What makes it great is the scenery behind-the dam climb before CHSP. Let me know if you ever want a riding buddy. I ride Northridge every weekend.

Cheers,

What frame is that? It might interest me to go 29er.

What frame is that? It might interest me to go 29er.

It is a China made 29er carbon frame from a company called LT Bikes. This one is their model LTK023. Here is the link to their web page on Alibaba:

http://ltbike.en.alibaba.com/

I had posted the geometry of this frame on STR before on my quest to build up this bike. Here is the thread with the geometry diagram:

http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/general-discussion/59375-bb30-bottom-bracket-shimano-crankset.html

You will find the diagram toward the middle of the thread. I ended up got the frame with regular BB instead of BB30.

There is a huge thread on MTBR that people discuss the China made 29er carbon frames and how they built up their bikes with it.

http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-bikes/chinese-carbon-29er-640919-33.html

There are mainly three different companies that sell 29er carbon frames with slightly different design and geometry. I ended up picked LT Bikes and their frame because I like the full internal cable routing and the head angle.

Cheers,
