welcome to my hell – been looking for same bike for 4 months – like an idiot I thought 2012 actually meant 2012 – So i didnt start looking for one until january , but in specialized bike import terms 2012 actually meant september 2011 , so by january all the mediums were long gone I did manage to get a go on a LARGE at bikescene in guisbrough, but I felt waaayyy overstretched and they couldnt get me a MEDIUM , they even phoned the head sales guy at Spesh UK and he couldnt help. since then I ve tried everywere and all those bike shops on the net who list them as in stock are all full of s**t , they just cant be bothered to update their websites – I ve found 2 used mediums for sale from private owners on PINKBIKE both in california , and both sellers refused to ship to UK. much easier for them to sell in their own country and who can blame them, next I tried Spesh ITALY I got a nice Email from their head honcho saying they had none either – So I ve given up – but I will be first in the que for the 2013,s in september – If you find anything in the meantime please let me know ,all the best with your search.

I don’t think they brought many into the UK at all – there were 11 left with specialized UK when I ordered my large in January/February. I’ve no doubt the next model will make this one redundant anyway!!

Hi
You could try http://www.bikescene.co.uk, they have aluminium frames, anodised black for £1099 american spec 2011 145mm travel not latest 150mm, not exactly what you wanted. I just bought a pitch frame from them, very helpfull on the phone, delivered next day.
