2006 bikes starting to show up

[ThePrez]

Just thought I would let you know if you didn't all ready. Specialized has put some early releases onto their website, I am guessing Trek will follow soon.  If you know of any other companies that release them, post it.

Trek and Specialized have finally released all of the 2006 bikes.  There are some sick bikes out this year.  Specialized finally prodused some carbon mtbs (that Carbon Epic is the sweetest fs I have seen yet), while Trek whipped out some even cooler ones then the last ( the new 9.9 carbon ht makes me drool).  Here are the bikes that our members got through our sponsorship with Trek.

I guess I'll have to make this thread pretty again  . (only first bike is 06. the others are just damn cool so they deserve attention.)

[ThePrez]

Hey, that middle bike you put on there is just a 2005 allez with an s-works sticker on it. hahahahahha, someone got ripped off.

[dannynguyen]

The 'S' is a pearlescent white paint, not a sticker  .  That madone is an overcooked, angel hair noodle on wheels...

Hey I wanna play...

- because I am a Giant whore, and I'm loving this track frame...


- I also like full-rigids, and this Surly Pugly is just a monster with 4inchers


- I'm looking forward to the new SRAM road group.  It's got Campy-like cable routing and also looks like it'll fit well for those who have smallish hands (like meeeeeeeee).  I also think it looks less pretentious than shimano 10speeders, which is a plus.

Ya, I want to know how this sram shifting action works, since they claim it is the most simple to date.  I guess we have to wait another year.
