More 29″er Rumors!

February 28th, 2007 by Guitar Ted

Specialized 29″ers by May? Hearing Specialized will have their 29″ers in stores by May. More details will be coming, but I can not imagine that this is not in response to another big players announcement coming soon that they will have a full line up of 29″ers for ‘08. Will there be a Fox shock on the front of these bikes? This was my prediction. We’ll see soon enough!

Sea Otter: Twenty Nine Inches is going to Sea Otter which means yours truly gets to fly again! Oh boy. But wait until you see what I’m coming home in! Not only that, but wait until you see who I’m coming home with! (Don’t worry Mrs. G-Ted, nothing untoward here! Besides, you already know about it.) Anyway, it’ll be an eye opener. Big news from Sea Otter, so stay tuned to Twenty Nine Inches for more. Now where are those galoshes……..

Syncros Developing 29″er Wheelset: Hearing that Syncros is developing a 29″er wheelset based upon their popular 26″er offerings. Rim design might be ready by Sea Otter with a full wheelset to be shown at Interbike. Anybody ready for white rims?

UPDATE Hearing now that Specialized will have three models under $1000.00. One will have some sort of adjustable drop out, but the others will be geared only. A “Rockhopper” model is already for release, but Specialized is waiting for “the right timing” to release it, so my source tells me. More updates as they become available.

    YES I can confirm too because I spoke with an agent of Specialized here in Italy, and he told me that 3 models will be ready for september here. 2 hard tail and 1 full like Srumpjumper that maybe will be possible to be used with both 29″ and 26″ wheel on the rear. I ask to see the photo but for now is absolutely top secret !! We will see …

    A Paragon in the hand is worth 2 Stumpies in the bush :)

    Funny how name brands get peoples motors runnin’ even though there may be (is?) nicer rides already there on the market.

    Not a fan of Specailized, nor Fox here, but they gotta go where the money is, and right now, its ‘niner’s.
