So i had a chance to have a chat with Sean Chaney at Vertigo Cycles. Looks like i have a project to work on. I have no expectation to see this within 6 months but its going to be a good one.
Concept: 29er am hardtail. Influences first and foremost my Jones. Basically i want the same ride characteristics with a 120mm fork. Use is going to be alpine and down grade looning.
83mm bb, with single ring to 6 speed rear on a 150mm bolted axle. I've picked up a hub that makes the whole thing click and allows a dishless rear wheel. (pic is curiaks, hub is the same)
There is a lot of details to sort out, but i'm aiming at a 20mm reba with 120mm travel at present.
For those about to rock....

I saw your post on MTBR re: the 180mm BB. I knew where it was going as I've been dwelling on the same thing.
as per usual, sounds like an awesome build! will this be the machine for next years weekender?
Their stuff does look very nice. Tom C is apparently working on their website. Like the rohloff setup, not so sure about the disc mount!
Some of your flickr stuff was giving away your thoughts.
Should be good.
Hey Jon,
