Gerhardc Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Has anyone noticed in this year's Cape Epic that Burry's 29'er frame is not the same as Sauser's 29'er frame??? It would seem as if Sausie is on the 2012 Specialized Epic S Works 29'er and Burry on the 2011 Specialized Epic S Works 29'er.... Have a close look a pics and TV tonight....... I'll in the mean time try to source pics, but I have for sure noticed a difference in their 29'er frames where the top tube meets the seat post! Wonder why??? A personal prefference by Burry to ride the 2011 model!------------------------- Here is the pic!!! Burry's left....Sauser's at the back (right)...notice where the top tube meets the seat post.....Sauser's is for sure the 2012 model Epic 29'er and Burry's the 2011 Epic 29'er!

A personal prefference by Burry to ride the 2011 model!What should worry you is that Suzie drinks less than Burry.Suzie has to carry that heavy GoPro.But notice how it faces backwards, great idea ,it might get a bit boring just seeing video footage of an open road.
Wyatt Earp Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Picture posted above!As said it's a medium and a large, on the large the "cross brace" is bigger and longer .
Zook Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Suzie has to carry that heavy GoPro.But notice how it faces backwards, great idea ,it might get a bit boring just seeing video footage of an open road. Probably told to keep the camera pointed at the other riders. Backwards seems safe.
Mr LOOK Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 ....and they're both riding LOOK Quartz Carbon pedals.

Gerhardc Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 So you wanna tell me this one is a large And this one is a medium So why does the Specialized site then specify one as the 2012 model frame and the other as the 2011 frame?
TheV Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) As said it's a medium and a large, on the large the "cross brace" is bigger and longer . Yes, and if Burry was 5cm shorter the shox could have been connected directly to the headtube with no need for a toptube. that would have saved him some weight... I heard somewhere they actually built him a custom/test frame just like this, but he so badly wants to run 29er wheels that they couldn't get it right, because under suspension load the two wheels kept on touching eachother.

Yes the one is Large, the top one is 2012 and the bottom one is a medium 2011.
Gerhardc Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Fact is that their 2 frames differ in appearance!
Gerhardc Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Yes the one is Large, the top one is 2012 and the bottom one is a medium 2011. I was not refering to size...but year model...
