To piggyback on this thread....
I'm also looking for a 29er hardtail from a seller with a good reputation.
But, I specifically am looking for something with a 27.2 seat tube, and workable with a 120 fork. Boost would be nice, but not required.
Anyone have a recommendation?  So far, options seem limited and  I'm looking at Tantan, LightCarbon, and DIYCarbonBikes....any strong opinions on those? Or anyone have other recommendations?

Thanks

Howdy all,
New here, and hope to get more engaged.
I recently dipped into the direct carbon market for the first time, with a pair of wheels for my road/CX bike, and I've been happy w/ them so far.
So, my next project will be to hopefully piece together a new hardtail 29er, aiming for light/nimble, and "fun".
I've checked through several of the online sellers' websites, and will probably have relatively limited options, as I'm hoping to maintain compatibility with spare parts that I already have.
If the hardtail goes well enough, I'll hopefully start planning go for long-travel FS - but that may be a ways off, due to budget.

Cheers.
