Beer4Recovery Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 My current ride. How much are these retailing for in SA or is it an import?
HaydenWilson Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I think its the one that TCRCarbon was selling at one point? Specialized is apparently only bringing in the 29er enduro at request. Not keeping stock.
enjoi Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I know of a brand new Specialized Enduro S-works carbon 26" bike for sale. I think it 2008/9 with full XT except for SLX brakes for R21000.. Similar to this:

I have a Lyrik RC2DH 170mm fork and it always confuses me how they got the boxxer so wrong and the Lyrik so right. The internals are almost exactly the same.

It was old stock at RS and was actually a 2 step 130/160 that they rebuilt into an RC2DH 170mm for me. Got it cheep cheep.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 What happened to the one that did not fit your frame? Nothing at all. I never actually took ownership of it, and it's still for sale.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Woah. That is a luck of note. They apparently only bring n the long travel single crown forks on special order now. I heard so too. Big mistake.
Guest Omega Man Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I heard so too. Big mistake. Not for them. The market is 90% 100mm 29er forks.
Hairy Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 I chatted to them about 2 months ago and the conversation turned to the new Pikes ... answer was that they would rather not get the first generation ones in as the first gen forks could have issues, so they would rather let the forks first prove themselves. Omega .... I would be curious to know how the market is changing it's perspective from nearly fully 100mm committed to more trail and then enduro range forks.

If I see the number of people on this site building full rigids I'd say it's getting even worse. I spoke to the Trail & Tar guys the other day and they said that they hadn't sold a 26 inch bike THIS YEAR! I reckon most of the guys buying trail bikes are downhillers that are gatvol of pushing their bikes uphill. Just my opinion tho.
