This looks quite nice:

Anyone from Spesh UK post on here/know whether it's coming to the UK (previous Carve SS's haven't) and if so, what the pricing is likely to be?

Thats a really nice looking bike - love the red slashes on wheels and post... and some DT swiss 100mm forks would finish the job perfectly 🙂

By the looks of things i dont think it will.. Maybe a specialist shop or two which with my luck never within a sensible range from where I live. Best bet i s'pose if you really want one is to have it shipped over special order like.

I am sure it'll be special order only, but it's a lot easier if that's through the local dealer rather than having to order from overseas...

Unlike last year's Carve SS frame, it'll take gears if required as well.

Looks like it can be belt driven.

Why dont they offer them to europe?

Don't know; this year's frame only seems to be available in Australasia (at least, according to [url= http://twentynineinches.com/2012/01/10/on-test-specialized-carve-pro-ss/ ]Twentynineinches[/url]). I'd hoped someone from Spesh UK might see this (or [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20005&t=12866227 ]the other thread on BR[/url]) and comment.

Looks a bit specialist I suppose. The market might be a bit too niche. Maybe next year single speed rigid 29ers will be all the rage, but by then everyone will want 650B anyway 😆

Aye, but Cannondale have offered a rigid SS Trail SL 29er for a couple of years.

Maybe Cannondale have saturated the market 😉
