I would take a hard look at many newer designs, (The Big Mama, unfortunately, is discontinued). As I mentioned, Pivot, Niner, and now the Fisher Rumblefish and others are becoming more refined. I would seek out a Ventana, as the commenters mention, or a Turner as well. It's getting harder to go wrong now that 29"er manufacturers are putting more R&D into the 29"erFS platforms out there. @Andy B: I have a size Large in the photo there.

Or would you recommend a different bike now as newer frames have emerged etc. Appreciate your assistance views. Cheers Andy B Hi Guitar Ted

I would like to see how the canzo compares to the other 29ers mentioned. Don’t forget about the Voodoo Canzo 29. I would like to see how the canzo compares to the other 29ers mentioned.

Trying to motor over obstacles is a bear on these >18" CS bikes. I've ridden/owned a few including ventana, turner, GF, Titus, specy. Albeit very nice, they feel like riding a bus. I second the shootout idea - GT can you get those bikes together?? Would be great. MTBR's shootout is outdated. Now if we could have some affordable 29er FSers with shorter chainstays (Giant???).
