Specialized Enduro Expert EVO - Tested
i do understand that a new bike makes you want to push harder and shred faster. but this was just a matter of physical grip in the bike, it may have just been one continuous fluke but all i know is he was dam quick and since our shop started selling 650b's they have been selling like tasty tasty hot cakes to some respectable riders. (not trashin' on 26' i still loooove mine but i am trashin' on 29')

No, i just think it is addressing a very specific area of riding that doesn't quite exist. its good at uphill but not like an Enduro and its good at downhill but not like a Demo. Nothing wrong with it its just answering a question that wasn't asked.

personally i think if i was going to spend that much money on a rig like that i would go for either a status or an enduro, not the middle ground in between. Having said that, this bike is still sick!

The Kids Don't Ride
I'm 17 and my dad owns a bike shop and I help him out. He always tried to make me interested in bikes and personally i was never really interested. It wasn't until i got my first awesome mountain bike (a Spesialized Rockhopper 29' (i know suuper gay)) that i got truly excited about riding. Let your kids fall in love with riding themselves, forcing it makes it worse. From what is have seen with customers is if your kid look just a bit interested NEVER get them a shitty bike, that will turn them off all together. A friend of mine just got her first proper mtb (Avanti fate 650b) and she just rode a 50km endurance race for the first time! So only support your kids if they want it.

As cool as sepia/ black and white photo look i think of them as sort of an easy way out... and colors are pretty.
