Hi All,
I took my old steel Moots and had a big 29er wheel put on the front with a new REBA fork. It worked! The geometry changed but I was too far over the front on that bike anyway. It took a couple minutes to adjust everything to my specs but it climbs ok and goes over more stuff easier.
Got an old junker? Stick a new 29er fork and wheel on it and mess with the height. You might find you have a new bike.
Tom
