2010 Carbon 29er Weighs in Under 1kg

It's looking like end of the year for pre-order, early 2011 availability. Will be worth the wait!

Yeah, come on, when can we get hold of a carbon 29er, im getting fed up waiting!

Hi do you know when this will be on pre order yet?

I hope it will...

I have a Scandal and I liked its geo, but the chainstay could be shorter..435mm-440mm:-))

Hello Vito. The long travel Ti 29er is due to come in under 2kg. Designed to take anything thrown in it's path...

Hi Paola. Your weight should be no problem for the Carbon 29er. Geometry is the same as our other short travel 29er frames- Scandal 29er and Inbred 29er.

Hi all, what's the estimated weight for the TI LT frame?

We are waiting

weight as 189 pounds, can I use carbon 29er?

I have the geometry?

When we get a bit nearer to the release date we will launch the product and add a pre-order buy button. Sign up to the newsletter to stay informed.

how do I make a pre-order?

Not too much longer, Paoloa... Expect a bulletin in our weekly email in the next few weeks with a set pre-order date.

Yes, good idea. We are currently working on tweaking the Scandal in similar ways. Watch this space!

It would be nice to have some of these features for an alu scandal "2.0", I'm talking about the swappable drop outs, bb92 and tapered steerer :-)

Hi Scott, full info on the frame spec will be available when we get the production frames in (should be October-ish). Will keep you posted.

Info about the geometry-chainstay, TT...?

I´m also joining the newsletter, and I´ll be preordering one. Looks sweeeet!

Hi James, the long travel Ti 29er is nearing the end of testing at the moment and is currently Stevo's favourite ride. We're about to put the order in so expect the frames around Christmas (dear Santa...)

Hi Jonathan, we will probably run a pre-order offer on this frame. There will be limited stocks but sign up to the newsletter and we'll let you know when it's available to buy. Expect the pre-order towards the end of September.

Is there a waiting list I can get on or is it "first come, first serve"?

Any update on when the Ti 29er LT will be available?

Hi Marcel. The Carbon 29er has been through rigorous and extensive testing both in the UK (by our team) and worldwide by Xterra champion rider Richard Usher. Whilst we were 95% happy with the frame from the outset there were a few issues that needed to be corrected before the bike went into full production. To cut a long story short what this has resulted in a substantial delay in the launch date of the Carbon 29er. In order to get these improvements realised, prototyped and thoroughly tested we are having to delay the proposed launch to the end of 2010. It's a shame, but this bike is really important for us and we need to get the design 100% bang on. We'll keep you posted on developments.

Any news on timing??

Any plans to stock higher spec 29er sus forks to go with the frame?

Hi Edward, Yes the Carbon 29er will initially come in 18 inch, with 16, 19 and 21 inch to follow.

Will there be different sizes of the frame or are you just planning on a one size fits all?

Lovely, I want one!

Hi Lucal the first shipment of Carbon 29ers is due at the end of July. We'll keep you posted as we get more accurate dates. Thanks.

The £799 price is incorrect! Price is yet to be confirmed but you can expect £600-£700. The £399 price on the Carbon 456 is a special limited pre-order offer only! Retail price on the Carbon 456 is also TBC. Thanks.

ship? when?

Why twice the price of the 456??

I just got a email & they said it will be £799 give or take.

...and the price will be???

Hi do you know when you will have some in & what will the seatpost size be?

We're planning 2 lay-ups to suit all riders. The sub 1kg we'd not recommend for riders over 80kg, men/women of substance or bulls in china shops. This frame doesn't use swap-outs to save weight, single speed version expected end of the summer...

That's disturbingly light! What's the rider weight limit going to be on the frame?

Come on - more news?!? Will it be ss??

Nothing wrong with rear post mounts! Any more news/pricing on these (especially the ss version!)?

?????

Post mount rear brake? WTF..

What is the point in making it even lighter, when it already is far lighter than the competition? Wouldn't that compromise stiffness and/or strength? IMO, it would matter more to add useful features, rather than drop (more) weight. I hope your plans to offer custom graphics work out, because I'd like to treat myself to one as soon as they become available.

Pressfit92 will fit HollowtechII cranks, so one only needs to buy a Pressfit BB... BB30 has a 68mm BB shell. I wanted to go for BB92 as we can Carbon wrap the whole 92mm width. This gives a lighter stiffer bottom bracket.

Beautiful but why press fit 92? I'm a Luddite when it comes to new standards but surely BB30 would allow a stiffer and lighter frame to be built? How long behind for the interchangeable dropout model too?

ciao, si possono sapere le geometrie? ciao e grazie

No swap outs / single speed option?

Price? When? Price? When? PRICE?? WHEN??
