TURNING PRO
Guitar Ted over at 29inches.com has been getting the jump on me lately. When he started to leak information about our 2009 XXIX bikes and the new Mojave 29 my boss started to look at me like I wasn’t doing my job around here.   Â
Well, now it’s my turn to get the jump on him. While he’s put the rumor out there that we are making a Pro version of our XXIX…I’m here to say it’s a reality. Here are the first pictures of the XXIX Pro and the parts that will be gracing it.
Reynolds 853 tubing
SRAM X-0 parts, New Elixer brakes, Mavic CrossMax 29 wheels, Easton Seatpost, Stem and Handlebar
New 29†Reba Rock Shox.Â
This is a Limited Edition bike from us.  And unlike the automotive industry that uses the word “limited” to mean ‘we limit the number made to the amount we can sell’.  There is going to be a very limited number of these we will be bringing in.Â
Sign up early to make sure your name is on the list. Â

I couldn’t find a place to contact directly so I am posting my email as a comment.
I maintain and own the website, http://www.mtobikes.com and am interested in receiving a XXIX in order to publish reviews on my site. My very first mountain bike was a Raleigh M50, then the M80…I haven’t ridden a Raleigh since, but would love to be reunited with your brand. As for my old bikes, my dad and brother now ride them. Please contact me if it is possible to get my hands on an XXIX for review.
Keep the rubber side down,
Carl
