It’s no surprise that the companies that appear to be getting the most press this week have ex-journalists as spokesmen…

Next up, we have a teaser from Santa Cruz… Not content with releasing its new Nomad Carbon last week, there are more revelations that’ll be released at next week’s Sea Otter…

Two teaser pics… and just this quote about them… “About those new bikes. All will be revealed by next Monday sometime, but some of the guesses out in the internets are getting close. Others, well, not so much. In the interests of playing along, we can say that these next two bikes won’t be made out of carbon. Nor will they be hardtails. They will have tapered head tubes:”

And they will have suspension, and, just in case anyone was wondering, they will be getting ridden by Rob Roskopp’s posse of ‘Good Looking Tall Men With Accents’ at the Sea Otter in select events:

So, there’s much conjecture and internet forum debate as to just what these bikes are… Slopestyle? A new Blur 4X? Non-VPP? We’ll see next week…
