No matter how much of a Special-head someone is, I just don't see how this is exciting. Another full-suspension, short-travel 29er? With an outrageous price tag? No thanks. For the upwards of $5k that an S-Works bike will cost (judging by others in the line), you could have a custom-made full-suspension bike from a smaller builder. <BR/><BR/>Then again, I don't have the money for either, so I guess my opinion is pretty meaningless. The is the interwebs, though, so I'm not stopping here...<BR/><BR/>I've been thinking about it, and I'm not sure that I'd ever want a full-suspension 29er for east coast type riding, where a tight wheelbase is more important that high-speed stability. Maybe I'm in the minority though, or maybe high-speed, high-income western US riders represent a larger market share that I realize. A 5x5 26er? Ok, maybe. But not the enormously stretched wheelbase and high front end necessary to make a 5x5 29er.<BR/><BR/>Idle musing on my part, I know. Feel free to discuss and disagree.<BR/><BR/>More importantly, I'm glad you guys are back and that no one got injured or took any bad spills. Looking forward to the DVD of the adventure.DukePiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718611936927124375noreply@blogger.com
