The Steer 29+ is a mountain bike for big guys. With great geometry for All mountain and Cross Country mountain biking, this 29 plus hardtail mountain bike is the perfect mountain bike for big and tall people. The 29 x 3 inch tires give extra cushion to the ride, great traction, and superior stability and control. The titanium frame is built super tough for big guys and comes in a M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, and 4XL for riders from 5’9″ to 7’3″. The Steer comes with proportional length cranks for optimal pedaling efficiency, and extra wide handlebars to fit broad shoulders. The wheels are custom built right here at our shop in Boulder, Colorado using our own Clydesdale hubs that are rated for riders up to 450lbs! We build these wheels using 36 DT swiss competition double butted spokes per wheel and DT swiss brass pro-lock nipples to keep your wheels true for many miles. Each wheel is precision built by professional wheelbuilders in our shop using high-tech spoke wrenches, wheel building stands, and spoke tension meters. The Steer can also be converted to a hybrid for those looking for more of a recreational bike. Click here to see details.

There are many more factors to building a big and tall bike than most people understand. It is not as simple as just scaling up a “normal” sized frame and calling it good. When you do that, several things happen to the bike. First, the stretched out tubes become less stiff, which results in high speed frame shimmy. This is a scary by-product of a poorly designed bike. Second, the added material makes the bike heavier, especially if the builder tries to solve problem number one with just using bigger heavier tubes. Third, without a fork with a long enough steering tube, the handlebars will be far too low for the tall cyclist causing discomfort in the back, neck, wrists, and arms. Fourth, building a bike for a tall rider with average length cranks will make the rider feel like he’s pedaling a kids bike while sitting up very high. Lennard has developed great frame design concepts to address and solve all of these issues and more, which are all fully applied in the designs of Clydesdale Bikes. A Clydesdale bike designed by Lennard Zinn will be stiff and strong, while remaining lightweight. It will never shimmy at high speeds, and all of the components, including cranks and handlebars, will be proportional to the rider. Fit, performance, comfort, and durability will all be superior on a Lennard Zinn designed bike than a big and tall bike from any other designer out there. We guarantee it.
High-Quality Materials
WHY TITANIUM
We love titanium for our XXXL bike frames, in addition to every other size. Titanium is half the weight of steel and just as strong. Our designers know that larger diameter tubing built with titanium provides more stiffness and strength, better fatigue resistance, and increased power transfer than other metals. It also has amazing compliance and ensures a comfortable ride over all types of terrain. Unlike steel or aluminum, titanium can never corrode, but you can also paint it for a unique look.
In addition to using premium titanium for our frames and top-quality materials for all our other components, we also use spoke tension meters, wheel building stands, and high-tech spoke wrenches when building wheels on this bike for big guys.
