two niner mountain bikes
 

anyone have any experience with them? I am shopping for a new bike and had planned on a simple RockHopper but I have now found out about these two niners. I am pretty tall at 6'3" and so a larger wheel would not be too odd.

I am particularly interested in feed back on a unique bike I have the opportunity to buy. It is a one off from a bike shop who built a "hybred" two niner and 26" bike, they put a two niner wheel in the front to absorb the bumps and add grip but kept the 26" in the rear to the wheel base in not overly long and the acceleration is less effected.

any and all opinions welcome.

Did you ever find any good info on 29" wheels? I'm planning to buy a new mountain bike soon so I'm trying to decide on this among of decisions like hard tail or full susp.
