Jeff Anderson at Kiwibikes - www.jeffson.co.nz has been doing a few lately. I've been toying with the idea of a singlespeed cyclocross - which is pretty much a 29er with drop bars.

my next bike will be an on-one inbred 29er. They have a pretty good kit and weigh about 24lb. It seems they use a butted tubeset making them lighter than surly KMs, so if you're not too big, then they are a good option.
I will have progressed from an avanti competitor -> bianchi siss (SS) -> 29er. I am quite tall 190cm, so it seems they are very suitable for me. I love my siss so much so i will keep that, but i can't wait to try 29"

Get some Mary bars off Honeymonster instead of drops. Being a person that rides fairly upright you will never ever want to use the drops

Yar - that's not bad advice. I 'm just curious about the whole "drop bar" thing - but not wanting to get into the matching factory lycra side of things

Mary's will go well on a crosser. I'll have a few sets in as soon as Brant gets tem on a flight here. I'll have a set of moustache bars and a set of flared drops too. One of these is going on the new crosser after the moonride. Haven't decided which.
I'll have these frames/forks in next month...
It's a b*sdrat son of a roadie/crosser/MTB and can be run fixed/single/geared with discs. And cheap as chips
Not forgetting the Pace rigid 29er carbon forks, and later this year there might just be Pace 29er suspension forks too.
Don't tell my wife but I'm dreaming of getting a custom DEAN 29er [and may actually pull the trigger]. Too bad my Paragon is yellow and not brushed Ti - cuz then she'd never know I changed frames!! :>)

Your too short for a 29er Scatter, is it for Tim?? Oh and I am going to see your frame at 7.00, I'll call you after, I'll take some photos and the serial number
there is a guy in CHCH running Mavricks on a 29er but I don't want that much travel and the all mountains by Marz are hard to come by.
Apparently Reba's work but the set I looked at would struggle.
