This x100. Multiple month lead times for shops ordering. 3 day delivery if you order directly off the website.......and you collect from the store who can't get you one for 4 months. And people ask 'why are specialized hated so much'.

" More likely it’s not a big enough change from the Evo and people don’t see the value in selling their current bike for an abysmal sum and then paying Spesh rrp prices. " Its a lovely bike. No complaints whatsoever. Even the pricing isn't terrible by the standards of the last few years. But despite some incremental improvements (I personally am not against e-shifting), I can't say that it is any better than my 2020 bike. And arguably I have a better spec on my bike.

More likely it’s not a big enough change from the Evo and people don’t see the value in selling their current bike for an abysmal sum and then paying Spesh rrp prices.

And at the price they want, you can have a Levo SL for the same price. Doesn't weigh much more and gives a fair bit of assistance to the top. I have the previous version stumpy with the flex stays, looked at picking up a frame only. £4k for a frame is mental.

Since we were talking about Specialized and now about custom tunes, I've heard that new stumpjumper sales/orders are abysmal...

Why? Because they consistently make great bikes decade after decade and refuse to sell out? Never got the specialized hate.

Maybe making the Scout a mullet? I’d love a 130/150 mullet bike from Transition. Agree on the angle sets. I’ve had a +1 Works in my Patrol from the moment I built it up…and it’s my park bike. (although it’s always been overforked 20mm)

Hope so! IMO the current one isnt great, have to ride it hard and on steep stuff, otherwise its very unbalanced, +1deg headset made those bikes much better. Hopefully they also fix the frame/bolts QC Knocking things they are

Seems like the next new bike has to be the Sentinel…. I’d potentially be interested in one if so.

not only are you a couple posts late... but i think the internet talking about it has forced him to remove it in some manner of breaking embargo (or more so just worried of ruining relationship with the big s lol)

Matt Hunter’s Stumpy 15 alloy

Matty Hunter just posted a bunch of Pictures on his IG that are clearly the Aluminum version of the new Stumpjumper. (Sorry, I don’t know how to link IG pictures on my phone, my kids probably do)

having done a full rebuild on a spark last week i can say that bike sucks, so does the routing, the hidden shock and the whole concept ( broken bolts and all the crap that enters the headset find it's way down the frame where the precious shock is hidden ) such a crappy bike honestly

Here’s a rumor I heard: sram and shimano said that you’re all going to ride singlespeeds until you learn to get along.
