Big weekend for Specialized
July 20th, 2010 by Conrad Stoltz
Ned Overend won the Single Speed National title. (the big race, not the old man’s race) And he did it on a Specialized Rockhopper 29er! (mid range aluminium frame)
I took this pic at the Specialized 2011 bike launch in Keystone, CO. Not quite sure how he went up that mountain at that altitude with 1 gear?!? (I needed all 20 gears) Maybe that’s why they a call him “Deadly Nedly” or “The Lung.”
One of my favourite Ned quotes: “I only stretch when I’m injured”
Todd Wells took the Specialized 29er theme further and won US Nationals in Granby CO on the new S-works Epic 29er. WaytogoTodd!!! Follow Todd’s entertaining blog here.
Todd Wells rails a corner on his way to winning the “Stars and Bars” National Champ jersey on the new 29er Epic.
Here is more reason to celebrate the red team:
