69er'

Check out Trek's newest contribution to the world of production single speeds.

See what they did with the name...? Get it...? It's interesting to see a bike offered as a complete with a 29er front wheel and a 26er rear wheel as standard equipment from one of the "big guys"- influence from Travis Brown I suppose. Pretty cool, eh. All of the rolling mass benefits of the big stuff up front, yet retaining the acceleration characteristics of the little guy in the back. I think it's neat, and would like to give a go sometime. Not sure what to think of the "chain guides" on either side of the cog, though. If nothing else they look spiffy, and they sure won't hurt anything.
