People told me the pistol grip gear changers are a pain but I find them ok and the changes are really smooth. The 29" wheels also make the ride a lot smoother and the bike handles steep climbs with ease (I'm not the fittest and I have been hardly out of breath going up some long steep hills). All in all I'd recommend the bike to anyone thinking of buying a budget starter bike, the components will obviously not be as good as a more expensive bike but the 5.29 is great value in my opinion.Zakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221943813051005411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26265980547055657.post-74369616125832334072012-08-14T18:46:45.829+02:002012-08-14T18:46:45.829+02:00Hello Ian and thanks for stopping by.

The other was picked out as mine was going through it's final prep/check, so I imagine that they might already be out of stock, but they'll probably be in soon. They also are not yet up on the German website, so I'd take a look at the store if you're interested. <br />Also, I don't know about another 29er under this one (5.29?), but I didn't see anything else with 29 inch wheels, and they didn't mention another one.<br />Cheers!<br />ChrisFlipFlopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546036157503095457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26265980547055657.post-4696681539508910702012-06-23T10:14:34.902+02:002012-06-23T10:14:34.902+02:00Hello and thanks for the comment.
