Tallboy
2010 Santa Cruz Tallboy.
My 1st 29er. Wow, this is a fun ride. With this set-up (full XTR, Industry 9 tubeless wheelset, Racing Ralph tires and Fox fork) it is just under 25lbs. Not too bad for a duel-suspension. You can just catch a peek of my girlfriend's Orbea D'ella in the background. Anybody else riding a 29er?

How would you compare your Tallboy to a 26er? I don't know any better but sometimes think a 26er might do a little better in super tight stuff and climbing, but it's prolly my lack of skills and conditioning.

Thanks, it has been great so far! Perfect for the Bay Area, CA riding.
Good question re. handling. I grew up riding on the East Coast, West Virginia, and Southern Ohio and I think this bike might give you some challenges is the super-twisty stuff. On the other hand, if you have skills like this dude http://vimeo.com/32301541 not so much of a liability  Seriously though, I am pretty impressed with this bike in technical single track. As for climbing, it is interesting. I find that there is a "speed threshold" and once you are going faster than, say, 4MPH this thing climbs like a beast. The slower the speed (and more technical the slow-speed climb) the tougher it becomes. The rear suspension however (VPP) is very accommodating and really plants the rear wheel to the trail. The payoff is on the downhill. With the high-volume tires on bigger wheels, you just float over stuff. Pretty amazing.

Just got done tearing her apart and painting the frame. Had it for a couple years now, had to upgrade just about everything on it due to breakage, but now it's pretty dang stout.
'09 Specialized Pitch Comp, used to be Satin Red. Don't really like the flashy colors, though.
