Get out and ride a few.

I agree. That's what I need to do.

most days I can't get out of the parking lot without being asked how I like my bike.  If I get out of the parking lot without being asked then it's out on the trails where I get asked. 
Either way, every day I ride someone asks me how I like it; not a question of if they ask / just when they ask.

I ride a Vassago Jabberwocky rigid single speed and people honestly stare with eyes wide.

But I'm flattered they ask and I'm always willing to talk about it.

In my garage is a 2008 Stumpy 29 FSR - the Army green one with gold bits. It's a great bike.  I finished building the Vassago the first week of September.  I always ride at least once a week; sometimes twice.  The Stumpy hasn't moved since the Vassago was completed.  A buddy and I traded bikes recently in North Carolina; he took my Vassago and I his Kona 26.  8 minutes on one trail and I couldn't wait to get off his bike and he couldn't wait to order a Vassago for himself.  He eventually went with a Soma but was sold on 29.

Geometry is everything. Some manufacturers make the 29 behave like a 26 and some do not; it's all up to you.  What fits your body and riding style.  After I did all my research I went with Vassago and have not a single regret.

Whatever you buy get what you feel comfy with and think long term if you will be happy with what you are buying down the road do not let anyone tell you this is what you need if you don`t feel good about it do not buy it

Steve, go buy a 29er. You will not have inner peace until you do

Glad to hear you are happy with it. Welcome to the single speed rigid lifestyle.

Been there done that the clown wheels just weren`t for me

I noticed today on the flowing singletrack at Santos that while I'm keeping a steady cadence of about 9-10 mph, I can hear my buddy behind me on his Niner coasting.  Can't deny the added rotational momentum of the clown wheels, especially the cheaper ones:)

I want one picture.

Just one picture please.

Of a clown on big wheels.

As Mucaro pointed out, Clowns almost always ride small wheels.
