Discussion: New bike?

What's the new bike? The 29er isn't called "new" anymore, is it?

Specialized epic 29er. Sold my anthem last year and despite liking the 29er hard tail wanted some cush. Still have the Remedy as a trail bike. May get rid of the hardtail. Although it would be a good bike to ride the Tour Divide with...

Are you considering the Divide? Very cool! Hey, wait, I thought your were looking for shorter more intense races rather than the epic long races that break us down mentally and physically!

Niiiiiiice bike! :)

Nice! I've got the 26" version.

Where are you going?

Bash, when did you get an Epic? Did you have it at Tierra Viva?

(FYI, Bart is part of a pretty big crew going to Italy for the bike hotel. He and C-Bass are going early for some extra sightseeing. Big Fish James and Wakana ("little fish"? "Raw Fish"?) are coming, plus Sean (ARWC 2011) and Julianne and a few others. Should be a great time!

I've had an Epic Expert for about 5 years so it's very dirty and yes, it went to TV. I'm thinking 650 next...

Ah, I knew about Italy but was thinking it was later. That makes sense now!

I love "Raw Fish"!!!!

No firm plans to ride the Tour Divide. Just something I would consider doing - I like the idea of getting on my bike in Banff and riding to Mexico. It isn't even the race part - just the challenge to see if I can do it.

Like CO says we are heading to Italy. In Poland though for a few days then heading to Rome and then the Amalfi coast for a few days before the bike hotel.

I'll need photographic evidence. Obviously.

Will work on it... nothing too interesting in Wroclaw so far and the weather has been crappy.
