And it is odd. I mean, what do you suppose the Riders Club folks that follow Specialized's mountain bike stuff think? That copy that goes with the post on that site is just as condescending. I don't know who's in charge of their marketing and P.R. concerning 29"ers, but they seem hell bent on screwing up. Time and time again we see it. It's hilarious, crazy, and sad all at the same time. shiggy: That IS funny! And it is odd. I mean, what do you suppose the Riders Club folks that follow Specialized’s mountain bike stuff think?

"29" Specialized Fast Trak Not only do we have 29" MTB's coming, we're making tires to match!" More like they are making bikes to match their tires. They first made that tire 3 years ago and have been selling it for more than a year. Then added the 29" Resolution a few months ago Well, they are mentioned on their site: http://www.specializedriders.com/post/show/46

We have had several confirmed sightings of an Epic 29"er proto being ridden, for instance. Most of these sightings are quite far away from Spechy HQ, so it's no wonder nothing is being seen there.

I am sure some 'spy' shots will now be more readily available. They are still keeping them under wraps at the 'office' as a few people have been out for the latest and greatest training to the BIG S house and there have been none sighted.
