Bikerumor had the same but it got deleted, I'm sure this will be as well… Looks like the big S doesn't want to admit that the new wheel size will be king very soon and the 29er sales will slow way down.

Did anyone see these? Specialized Enduro 29er? Looks pretty good to us!

Is that is supposed to be a 29er Enduro or 650B? Second shot front wheel looks massive compared to rear wheel of bike right behind it.

Im sure the 2013 S-Works Enduro has an aluminum rear triangle for a very certain reason.

Hey Steed, when is the Big S, Giant, and SCB releasing their 650B bikes?

I think I read S that the Big S is ignoring the 650b fad for now.

Wrong. Always.

Spending the afternoon with a Norco sight? Did you get to ride it or were you just enjoying a coffee together!

Yeah I put about 25km on it yesterday. We did enjoy a post ride coffee and muffin in the rain though!

Working on typing something out. Too bad my GoPro angle was too low

Ah…finally someone can answer the age old question "Steel Trail/AM Hardtail 29er or Full Suspension Trail/AM 650B." This has plagued mankind for at least a couple months now.

Wrong. Always.

I'm unclear on if this is oxymoronic, redundant or hypocritical?

OOPS sorry if that seems rude
what I mean is that you could try every type and variety of bike and there still wouldn't be a clear and easy choice

anyways I lied in another post
I am gratuitously stirring the pot because it is winter, I'm bored and have read more than enough about Lance Armstrong getting what he deserves
