I went and looked at a Gary Fisher X-Caliber with 29" Wheels and disc brakes and a bunch of other goodies. I like the way it looked
Do you guys know much about this 29" trend? Is it bunk?
How about Fisher bikes? I can pick this one up new for a little over a grand.
I assume a 19" frame is good for my 6'2" bod? Or should I go 21"?
This is the bike (I would get Black)
