If it's been pulled that quickly, it was either erroneous or the powers that be didn't want it breaking before season's end...!

Maybe it was their over-zealous web designer accidentally posting it live instead of to the dev server.

That said - Given that River Valley Cycles doesn't even stock Specialized (or Iron Horse for that matter), I don't see a) why they care; and b) they would be the first to post it.

Let the e-speculation continue.....

dont believe everything you hear on the internet becouse iron horse has already brought there 09 out and guess what it has the same dw link as the 08 and the 07

I would say dont believe it untill you hear it straight from the horses mouth (no pun intended)

A friend of mine works as an engineer for Specialized, and he told me Sam Hill was in Morgan Hill to visit Specialized a few weeks ago regarding potential sponsorship for 2009. As far as my friend knows, however, nothing has been finalized yet.

As far as the bike is concerned, Sam would ride a fully-custom Demo 8 for the 2009 season, and then for 2010 Specialized would provide him with a completely new DH platform based on his input. This is all hypothetical though.

This is true.


I have seen Sam in the Building at Specialized.

I have seen him at UCSC with Specialized people........

Just a bit more speculation for everyone :p



Oh and for anyone saying it's "horrifying" news, and that it's going to slow him down - shut up. Do you really think Specialized would throw the Worlds fastest rider on whatever bike they've got and say "Here, win some races for us." That would completely defy the point of sponsoring such a high profile rider :rolleyes:

Ssoo, if Sam's contract runs out in 09, and people are saying he's signing for Specialized in 09, how the FU... hell does that justify it being bullshit?
