A steel 29HT is all you need.
If I had the money I would get something custom made frame which is relatively easy living in the UK as there are plenty of quality frame builders. Then you have something that is unique and fits you.
At the moment (with young family) I couldn't justify the extra expense so would buy something off the shelf and a Rootdown is very much up there on the list.
Later in life my hope is to do a frame building course and build frame for myself. Whilst it would be a little scary knowing you welded up your own frame there must be something really satisfying about riding something you have built yourself.
