I'm listing my custom steel 29-plus bikepacking rig. I had this built by Silent Cycles in Chattanooga, TN to mimic the popular geometry created by Jeff Jones, except in a 29+ platform (before the Jones Plus). Geometry is identical to the Jones, except for this frame having a taller seat tube to increase frame bag capacity of the main triangle and having the frame built corrected for a 100mm suspension fork. It's a great all around bike for trail riding or bikepacking, I'm just ready to move on to something different. It has 3 water bottle mounts, braze-ons for a rear rack, and tons of braze-ons on the fork (its a steel Salsa Firestarter fork). The rest of the build is as follows:

Frame: custom Silent Cycles with Paragon Swinger dropouts and 44mm headtube
Fork: Salsa Firestarter (steel)
Headset: Cane Creek 40
Wheels: Velocity Blunt 35 rims laced to Chris King disc hubs
Tires: Surly Knard 29 x 3
Brakes: Avid BB7s with Shimano XTR 950 levers
Bar/stem: Titec J-bar and Hope 50mm x 20* stem
Shifters: Shimano Dura Ace 10sp. bar end shifters mated to Paul Thumbies
Grips: Ergon GC1 for swept back bars
Crankset: Shimano XT with Race Face 32T narrow-wide chainring
Rear Derailleur: Shimano XTR 10-speed
No pedals or front derailleur/shifter

Asking $1800 and may consider other interesting 27.5+ (2017 Fargo) bikepacking bikes.

Hello - Interested in your Steel 29+ bike! I dream of doing the Tour Divide...would this work? Since it is completely custom, could you tell me your height and inseam? That will help me figure out if it will fit me. I have watched J Jones videos, - compelling! Thanks so much, Rex
