Here's what Dirtworks, Australian distributors for Ritchey have to say about the P-29 as well as the geomerty:
The return of the legendary Ritchey Mountain Bike. Tom
Ritchey applied 38 years of racing, designing and building
steel mountain bikes into a new model-the P-29er.
Like any Ritchey, this bike is born to go fast without
sacrificing comfort or durability. Heat-treated, triple-butted
Ritchey Logic II tubing in our own unique butting profiles
results in a frame that balances rough trail compliance with
sprint-winning stiffness.
The 29er-specific geometry was defined by the best way we
know: countless hours of saddle time under Tom Ritchey,
World Cup legend Thomas Frischknect and other racers.
The result: nimble handling that captures the benefits of the
big wheels, stable but not sluggish, equally at home on allday
epics or tight, technical singletrack race courses.
The instantly-recognizable tri-color fade is a tribute to the
classic Ritchey P-series racing mountain bike.
