I'm Looking for a great all around bike. I do like to take any drop that I can find and love to rip down the trail as well. Any help would be great. I have taken 7-8' drops on my hard tail but would love a 29er with 5-6" of travel. Is the lunch box a good climber?

In 5 years, perhaps we have Eurobike for 26" introductions, with a 29" side kick program. Interbike, the other way around. Name 5 European mainstream brands that offer 29″ers.

Seems that is there focus at this time. SteveK: No, they were showing a lot of commuter oriented tires at Interbike. Seems that is there focus at this time.

Other than Niners W.F.O. 9, ( a bike shown first at Eurobike) there wasn't anything indoors to report on. At the outdoor demo I did get to ride the new six inch travel LenzSport Lunchbox, an excellent bike I might add. 29rcowboy: White Brothers showed a prototype 35mm legged 150mm travel fork which will replace the 32mm travel Fluid 150 eventually.
