Frank sent me an email if anyone is looking for some 29er SS parts in good condition for a decent price:

I decided to build another bike and get rid of the 29er so I am
selling the wheels and fork, so if you know anyone in need of this
stuff I have it for good price today.I think I’m going to try the 650B
platform and hope that it dosen’t disappear over ther nex few years.
Here are the links to craigs list

wheelset

650B, interesting. . . .

On a more blogtastic note, I just dicovered Scribefire. I am not usually a fan of writing posts outside of the wordpress interface, but this seems to ‘just work’, we shall see. . . If you use any of the ‘popular’ blogging platforms, it might be worth a try.
