You guys have some sick bikes. I don't ride 29 but I LOVE the AMHT niche. I would totally encourage you to post these bikes in the All Mountain: The Hardtail Thread -Post yours up. These bikes totally fit the category.
My first 29er build ... nailed it.
After much research, I picked the Paradox because it's geometry is almost identical to my Nomad. I think this familiarity really helped me adjust to a 29" wheel.
Finding a Paradox frame in large was proving to be almost impossible - sorry LBS, I couldn't wait any longer. Finally got one from BikeBling.
Specs as of now:
Fork: Modded Fox 36 Float ... so stiff. Drivetrain: 1x9 - 32t front / 11-36t cassette (I think I need a lower gear - not sure if I'll add a front derailleur or a 38t cog) Wheels: Flows on White Industries MI6 hubs
most nomads are around 67° HTA IIRC...but whatever, both bikes should be a blast to ride, that's what counts! Enjoy them both.
