Isnt that fairly similar to the ones sam hill and brendog are running?

I've noticed they do a proper UST version of the Eskar for 2010. I struggled with a squriming 2Bliss Eskar for ages. B'stards. Conti Rubber Queens already on order.

Ahhh specialized. They'd be nice bikes (they do ride OK) if only they weren't so horribly and blatantly gay. Another year of promise wasted by their marketing gimps.

Why doesnt their top dj bike have 20mm axles?
Dont they retail at around 3k?
I would expect a bike over double the price of mine to have better shizz...

It might just be the end of the 2010 Marzo 20mm axle, it looks like the end of my QR15 fork, maybe the 20mm axle for marzo will be like the QR 15 axle in 2010

I reckon they're a marzo or a rock shox (my $0.50 is on Marzo)

It seems now that pretty much only the "S-works" bikes get the Future shock forks, which kinda ties in with the whole S-works Philosophy of making a true top end high performance bike, with the very best possible parts / tubesets / manufacturing techniques*

*Yes I have sold a specialized or two and know a little bit of the marketing stuff :blush:

Marzocchi will do custom graphics for their larger OEM clients, such as the Paul Bass Custom Stickers for Kona this year on the DJ2 fork on the "bass" bike
