Cannondale and GT to Reject Traditional Mid-Year Model Structure
@friendlyfoe: You obviously don't know the big mfg numbers...also, the bike shop owners near me drive Raptors and have built out sprinters. I don't have a issue with it, but it sure is is wealthy persons sport with a bunch of frivolous changes and gimmick marketing. To a degree, this is a fashion industry.

Behind the Numbers: 5 Trail Bikes Compared
It does if you've ridden bikes with similar kinematics. If you're new to the game, good luck. Progressive linear leverage rate is the safe bet. Leverage rates containing inflections points are very difficult to resolve by simply changing damper settings. Norco is the clear winner here and I guess it being bike of the year also supports the arguement.

Bike Check: Russell Finsterwald's Specialized Epic
@5afety3rd: I saw two bikes this last weekend with firmware issues...neither could be resolved and their weekend was done. A cable could have been fixed.

Specialized Begins Selling Equipment Through Backcountry & CompetitiveCyclist.com
I think the key is defining 'local support'. The local shops are so inconsistent, frustrating and expensive I've been forced to avoid them. I want to support the local scene but man is it difficult.
