So why does the Specialized site then specify one as the 2012 model frame and the other as the 2011 frame?

 

colour is the diff of the two years , but the frames only look diff becuause of size .thats it .Burry and Suz are riding the same year bikes

Yes the one is Large, the top one is 2012 and the bottom one is a medium 2011.

 

Correct - also evident by the Kashima+Autosag sox that the one is 2012 and one is 2011...

 

Most companies usually take pic-chas of their medium or small bikes because they look "nicer" on camera for some reason, i think it has to do with the proportions to the components, etc.

Here is a 2012 Epic in a medium we built last week.

 

No auto sag.

That's on the Stumpy.

Fact is that their 2 frames differ in appearance!

 

They will look diff as the little triange at the bottom of the seat tube will get bigger with the bigger frame , thats it ! not rocket science .

So if I ordered a medium 2012 Specialized Epic S Works, I will not get this frame?

No, you will get one like the one in the pic I posted.

The reason Suzie's camera points backwards is that it's the only way you will get to see any other riders :-)

You wont find the bikes being used in the race on the specialized website. They are custom built one off frames. Much like you wont find an F2012 on the Ferrari website.

 

You can't go and buy one of them. Stop scratching your head.

The only problem with those frames is that it is not Cannnondale :whistling:

I know, shows you how blessed the current and last year Epic leaders really are, so I don't think it bugs them too much :whistling: :whistling:
