Finally their website has been updated to reflect their new bikes for 2008.  There are only a few lacking, but at least the new Stumpjumper 29er is on there.

What have you heard about specialized cross bikes? I'm probably going to get a cross-bike in November, so I can do some races this winter and also train in the snow.

get one, they are pimp.  But dont get the non-sworks model.  They're not the same since the geometry is different.  The chainstays are longer and more "touring."  Could be lil tougher bidding wars now that we're in September already, but I like to watch ebay for cx frames.  Build em up with whatever crap you got laying around, cuz you're going to be running it through crap anyways.

edit: I might be wrong with the chainstay thing (this was based on the year i bought mine).  So aCks your local dealer.

yep, they are released in December.  I already have all the parts for it, so I am getting the frameset module.  It comes with Frame, fork, two seatposts, brakeset, stem, and crankset.  I decided to wait for this so I could have one bad A time trial bike.

Nice, so it comes with everything in the picture. Why 2 seatposts? And also, how much is the damage?

it comes with two seatposts so you can use it for Tri's and TT's with the correct geometry.  Of course the Tri post is the one that does not have any setback.  The frameset is $3,500 msrp, but I hopefully won't be paying that much.  Yes, it comes with everything pictured.
