It finally happened. A rumor that had been floating about for several years appears to be true and will be unvieled at a special press conference tomorrow. Look for the full story on the bike from our Sea Otter coverage and be sure to jump over to our new sister-site, The Cyclist and check out more than just big wheeler coverage there.

The companion story and another pic are here.

The Epic 29″er will most likely see immediate action under X-Terra World Champion, Conrad Stoltz, as it has been rumored that he has requested Specialized make a 29″er version of the Epic. Interestingly, Conrad will be appearing at Sea Otter. Look for more on this bike and more Thursday from Laguna Seca Raceway and the Sea Otter Festival.
