My 2008 racing machine:<\/p>\n

Specialized Stumpjumper 29er. Yes, it is BIG. Ryan Palmer built it at Specialized Team Camp last week, and when he finished building it, he said, “wow, its a monster”. The name might stick. The Monster.<\/p>\n

I love the way this bike rolls over anything thats ugly, flat or downhill. Especially ugly. Uphill is still under investigation.<\/p>\n

I truly believe this bike is fast and I’m excited about the new challenge of winning races on 29inch wheels will present.<\/p>\n

Specialized’s engineer said if we can sell 500 he’ll make a carbon model…<\/p>\n

The new Rockshox 29er Reba Race is here. Its lighter, its stiffer, it has 100mm travel but….<\/p>\n

\"Specialized<\/p>\n

As the sticker says “Not for ride evaluation”. Which is legalese for “it probably wont be available in your shop this week”<\/p>\n

\"Specialized<\/p>\n

Mine! All mine!<\/p>\n

One of the reasons why I hate self pictures: You can never time your smile quite right…<\/p>\n

Specs:<\/h2>\n

Frame:<\/strong> Specialized Stumpjumper 29er. XL. Alu. Stock frame. Specialized is busy making me a special frame by replacing the BB shell that will take the new Specialized crank set, which saves about 150-200gr. I’ll run 2×9 and they’ll also make some small tweaks on the frame to save weight -like light paint.(?!) I should get this bike mid April- just in time for XTERRA South Africa<\/p>\n
