Specialized is having a webinar today for the launch of a new road bike…can’t really be the new Tarmac, because it is already out. Webinar @ 9:00 AM, pacific time. Stay tuned, I guess!

Am I missing something? People were talking about what might be announced and then no one saying what really happened

This was an official dealer announcement. It is presumably under embargo until some predetermined date before public release.

There was supposed to be some kind of guerilla marketing launch for the bikes today with one of the Deceunick riders, similar to what they did with their eBike last year…dunno if it happened or not.

It’s probably a new Allez Sprint. If it follows everything else they’ve done lately it’ll be disk brake only, even though its rim brake version is the perfect bike for traveling. :frowning: Edit: Seems I’m mistaken. :raised_hands:

[image] evrevzbcm: It’s probably a new, Allez Sprint. It is a completely new line of lightweight road bikes. See the link a few posts up.

Rumors that Daniel Oss was on the bike today for the rest day…but haven’t seen anything definitive. Thread on the Weight Weenies forum has some of the details as the link above…bike line is called Aethos, it is a ultra-lightweight bike, non dropped seatstays, etc.

Found this: http://www.velonation.com/Forums/afv/topic/aff/2/aft/2657.aspx Top of the line is 13lbs with di2, disc brakes, non dropped seat stays as mentioned above. Enough clearance for up to 32mm tires. Frame weight: 588g for top end version.

Yup, as already linked above ^^^ :stuck_out_tongue: [image] Specialized new road bike launch today Equipment eyeseyeseyes http://www.velonation.com/Forums/aff/2/aft/2657/afv/topic/afpgj/1.aspx#24668

My guess is it’s a new Venge :pray:
