i think you probably meant that sarcastically. but think of it this way: buy
the frame, 2 wheelsets, shocks and a second back end, and you suddenly have
two bikes: a roll-over-everything 29er monster and a nimble 650b trail bike.
dave tolnai's excellent editorial posted yesterday about obsolence in mountain
biking bemoaned the push towards one-off standards and incompatibility. here,
specialized is getting hammered to showing just how versatile their frame can
be
i understand the urge to bash specialized for taking a shortcut in producing
this bike. but if you haven't ridden it, you're kinda just bitching for the
sake of bitching, no?
