I could see it being great for singlespeed hardtail for keeping your momentum going. I found it balanced really funny in downhill switchbacks - especially of the rocky variety where I need the most help! I already tried a 29er up in Whistler, and I just wasn’t convinced.

I really like the idea of a custom-built frame. That said, I'd never consider a hardtail for an all-purpose bike. I own a Voodoo Dambala and a Turner Sultan. The Voodoo is very nice for relatively smooth trails (and would do very well in the 24 hour race) but the Turner is what I absolutely love to ride just about anywhere. The Voodoo is a great back-up bike. BTW - go 29er - you'll never regret it and you'll never go back to 26. Ran across Curtlo while I was shopping for a steel hardtail.
