Yeh, the Red one looks very Specialized.. the green looks a lot better.

Billed as the replacement to the Blur 4X so caught my eye.

Checked the details, realised it's actually nothing like the B4X at all, then looked a bit more, no ISCG tabs, can't run 160mm forks.

Labelled as 'agressive trail geometry'. The only thing remotely agressive is the BB height. Everything else is about standard - apart from the price.

Resounding fail from me.

I've love to try one, does sound good, but £2K...**** no it's £2700!!!!!!
I'm gunna have to win the lottery first.

Hmmm, £1600 for one from the US, I reckon you could get a flight out & back for less than the UK £2700's
(though would be a £400 duty and vat charge when you obviously "declare" it)

£2700 and check out the pics, you don't get a shock!!!!!

Anybody who thinks that the colours aren't horrendous is imo blind, hence why i bought an LTc which is the best bike ever made, FACT! (Does anybody believe facts these days after Rafa Benitez's deranged rant?)

If I was a dodgy car sales person whos fiddling the books I'd get a green TRc, way better geometry than any old tatty LTc with no reverb.

I was tempted, but the low BB height is a show-stopper for me.

The guys at Biketreks, which is where my LTc came from have a demo day in a couple of weeks. [url= http://www.bike-treks.co.uk/news-and-updates.aspx ]Santa Cruz Demo Day[/url]

Love my LTc so worth a try if you want something a bit nimbler?
