Redline Monocog 29er???

[Bicyclist]

I'm looking at maybe picking one up after seeing it in person.

I've got 2 questions though:

What's the weight on a 17", and will there be any toe overlap? I have size 11 feet, and I HATE toe overlap w/ a passion.

Thanks you guys!

Weight for the 17" won't differ much from the other sizes. It won't be light, that's for sure. Reports are it rides much lighter than it weighs, same experience I had with my surly Karate Monkey.
Just a few minor upgrades shed pounds off the stock bike.
Toe overlap can only be determined for sure you your shoes on your pedals on the exact bike. If you'd measure reach of your toes from the pedal spindle, someone might look and see, but it's still never sure.
That said, top tubes are generous so I bet it will be okay. You could always get an On-One fork which offers 8mm more offset.

If you buy one see if your LBS will swap out the headset pronto - several mentions of headset issues on other 29er forums.

OK, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. I think I'm just going to buy it so I see how I like the whole 29er thing. I think it's a great concept.
