Now on to happy things...

And as many problems as I have with the way specialized does business, or steals ideas...however you want to frame it, sometimes they pull off a completely badass bicycle.
Stybar's Crux being one...
How about the whitewall Dugasts? Play on playa...

The second example is this Shiv set up as a road unit.

Specialized claims that this is a one-off for an engineer, which only begs more questions...
What is the geometry? TT or road? The TT geo would make for a fast road unit on flat to rolling ground, but when the road tips up, forget about it!
Tube lengths and angles?
Regardless of what the answers may, or may not be, I think the general consensus is that it would likely ride like complete shit. Sure...super fast, but anything more than 2 hours would likely cause one to have traces of blood in their urine.

Look like the Worlds course break extract the souls from some racers. Lightning fast on the 'normal' sections, and just brutal in the sand. Gonna be interesting!

Good ride last night. It got quick in a few sections, which was quite enjoyable. It's really funny how the trails are polluted with people when it's 70 degrees, but empty when it's 40.
We did a variation of the loop last night for this very reason. It was a welcome change.
