AbsolutelyA medium frame with a 48" wheelbase, 29" wheels, and 64.5* HA (on a 29er...) doesn't sound appealing to me at all.
what would make a trail or run be "designed" for a 26 or 29?I don't think 29er DH bikes will ever be mainstream or all that popular, on the other hand maybe people will "design" DH runs for them, as plenty of people around here have seemed to design trails for 29er hardtails. 650b on the other hand....that could replace everything 26" IMO.
Old school runs that don't require a proper modern DH bike like the Kamikaze DH at Mammoth Mountain...what would make a trail or run be "designed" for a 26 or 29?
All the guys on the newer 5 and 6" 29ers proclaiming how good they are for "downhill", only come to find out they're talking about Downieville and other semi-downhill mostly non-tech stuff.what would make a trail or run be "designed" for a 26 or 29?
Go out and design something new then. Don't sit by and complain while others are innovating and pushing the sport.I want to see new ideas that make dh bikes more durable. Not weaker and heavier. Lets find a way to make derailluers go away. Not fit bigger wheels on our bikes.
So that angry old men can join the downhill crowd and tell everybody in the lift line how superior big wheels are.But why?

Bingo.All Geoff needs to do is sign Sam Hill to ride it in 2010 and he'll sell bucketloads of them.
