I was at walmart today and I saw a 29 inch bike with a nice frame with a little time of breaking this bike in it could be a really nice one I think it was only 130 dollars too!
Yup... 36 spokes on a 29er makes it a lot easier to motorize... also very true, the 29er won't climb hills as well as the 26" bikes unless you go to a larger rear sprocket...
