Redline Website Update...

[fire horse]

behold the long awaited...(drum roll please)...Monocog 29er

http://redlinebicycles.com/adultbikes/monocog-29er.html

[bikecop]

the frame & fork are disc ready, but are the hubs? no mention.

[Yunkie]

Where's the price?

[mp29k]

I am getting something bike related for my B-day. My wife is willing to buy me a full suspension frame up to around $699, or I could ask for a Monocog 29er. I already have a SSso I could upgrade a few of the parts instantly (bars, stem, cranks, BB, pedals, seat)

everything else looks good on the bike.

advice please, my current SS is a little too small for me, and I would be turing that into a fun little BMX cruiser style bike if I got this Monocog.

[dfcas]

The specs are for a cross bike.However,the geometry icon gives the geo and specs.Still doesn't answer the question,tho.

To the best of my knowlage, the hubs are disc ready.

[trail topher]

The guys at the bike shop called SBS for me and the MSRP is $499 for the 29er and $449 for the 26" Monocog.

Where's the price?

im sure the internet spots will be selling it for less, (+ factor in shipping). I'd be jazzed if they just sold the frame n fork combo, like they did w the 26er version. The 26" monocog frame n fork could be had for as little as $200 but that was after the bike had been in production for 3 yrs or so.

man o man, i might be able to justify getting one w the wifey if i get a PT gig at a bike shop, and purchase it at their cost, (given that id probably work for bike parts)...hmm...YEaaa that's it, that's the ticket!

RD-460 700C DISC HUBS

Anyone know how heavy these things are? Similar to a surly? Someone told me that the monocog was heavier than a 1 x 1 so figures this could be heavier than a KM.
I want to get a friend on a cheap 29er and he does not have much $$.
I was going to get him to hold out for the complete kona 2-9 build but this looks like a good buy then upgrade to disk with some clearence sale hunting.

The Redline web page lists matte green. Maybe it is my monitor but it looks black to me. Any one see one in person or are they not available yet?

It is green, though very dark. It's a cool color, looks green to black in different lighting.

[nmcculloch]

Website lists a 135mm rear spacing. If so, good to see the Redline move up to this standard. One listing on the full spec says " 130mm old rear". What does this mean. Is it truely 130mm instead of 135??

[toyota200x]

That is a pretty sweet bike. I am glad they came out with a 29er.

[erik99]

Sweet!!! This may do it for me. I've been lurking for a built KM, but this is going to be even cheaper!

Any idea on release date? The GA SS Champs are in late March and I'd sure like to ride it with big wheels.

[applegreenheckler]

From what I understand they will be available in the next couple of weeks

[Cloxxki]

March is what the company has said from the beginning and keeps expecting. No bike product ever reached the market earlier than the brand itself expected.

Redline here.. When somebody clicks on the "Full Specs" link on the Monocog 29 page of our website, a page comes up showing specs for our Disc Brake road bike. If you look at the very bottom of the page, you'll see tabs of our different models. Click on the Monocog 29 tab for accurate specs. Sorry for any confusion....

Some of the posts above are showings inacurate specs for this model.
Wheel = Alex DH-19 Rims, Stainless spokes, Redline (Formula) Sealed bearing - disc compatible hubs (135mm rear OLD).
Weight = 27lbs (MSRP US$450-470) I'm working on lighter tube set for a "Flight" version of this model for 07..

thanks for joining the board and giving us infor straight from the mouth! Now, how about those actual availability dates...be prepared to sell out of your first run pretty quickly too!

ETA for the Monocog 29" is mid March. We're expecting no surprises as these are pretty much the same parts as our 26" version (except wheels, tires, etc). and the tubesets are the same as our 26" version (except for the 29" specific geometry)

ANTICIPATION!

[Beckman4]

I'd say that unless you're looking to run gears, this thing will be a Monkey killer. $499 for a complete bike that's probably going to weigh the same or less than a decently spec'd KM that runs $1000.....UUUUhhhhhh.....HHHMMMMMM...Let me think......

[boboso]

Putting the thought of a GF RIg or Niner on old for five bills. I want to get into this 29 thingy and was about to pull the trigger on a Rig at my LBS this weekend. I got extra hydros, a H-bar on the way (for the SS 26" - may need to get another if I like it) and my fav seat and pedals. March (tick, tick tick)

and to quote MCD "antici...... pation"

It is 135. I see no mention of 130.
