2010 bikes

[BIGSESAL]

The 1.2 looks hot there... although it has a £100 dearer RRP than last year and I fear that this will be an all to common trend. I haven't heard about the 1.7 yet but I would expect it to be released fairly soon. July for definate, I bet they will do it during the tour when loads of people are looking for a road bike to attempt to look like Lance.

Really ? Any more information ? Is that all models ? Any idea on specs & colours ?

Nope I asked for an 09 Roadbike and LBS said wait till July for the 2010 models.
Rep said pointless continuing producing 09 bikes

As I was shopping for a bike over the past couple of weeks, I discovered that most shops had run out of many popular '09 models for the bigger names (Giant, Specialized, Trek). The manufacturers had produced fewer bikes, anticipating a downturn due to the economy and exchange-related price increases. In fact, they sold more than ever...

Of course, at this stage in the game, they will be well into their 2010 production runs, and it's pointless producing any more '09s. It's a shame that like-for-like prices are increasing year on year though - for the same price as my 105 equipped bike, I could have got Ultegra a year ago. The same price in 2010 is looking like buying a Tiagra groupset.

Still, I'm happy with my bike - and based on Evans' website stock levels, it looks like I got the last Spesh Roubaix Elite they had.

Cheers,
Darren

I think the Spesh 2010 models are out. Saw a White Allez today
If anyone knows if the Allez 09 model was black then the 2010 models are out.

£50 more too.

Sure it wasn't one of these?

New Spesh Allez 2010 is red (which is a shame)

Rubbish that the 2010 1.2 is 15% more than the 09 model.

 

[Rollon]

Buy a Bike in Lancs has some 2010 models in now, ALL with a higher price tag.

Does anyone know about specs & colours on the 2010 Giant Defy range ?

 

[Sittingduck]

This is the US page and I'm not 100% sure it is the 2100 models but it's a good a place to start as any:

Hmm, seeing Defy bikes make me rethink about the Trek 1.2

 

[Sittingduck]

The Defy 2 looks quite nice actually.

 

[aJohnson]

Now I'm into the choice of Trek 1.2, Spesh Allez, or a Defy bike. Damn.
