The outcast is out but what else is to follow and how soon? A geared 29er?? Reason being is that I may purchase the fly team or 9357 and I may just wait for a little while.

well a while back mike did a raffle on here where he raffled off either a Titanium or carbon version of the fly, both prototypes, and he was saying whichever is more well received, they'll produce...both looked really nice...and from having experiance with their road bikes, i'm sure the carbon will be sweet....and of course, Ti is always nice...not sure that it matters at this point, but i vote for Ti......other than that, i haven't heard much....i'm sure they'll come out with a longer travel more freeride oriented bike, and maybe some more jump oriented bikes, but my speculation is all based on the fact that the industry seems to be moving to a high demand in those areas, so i'm sure they'll follow suit....

actually yes, i did see one of their road bikes, it was an 08 le champion i think, that had sram componentry, minus the cranks, which were fsa i believe....i personally couldn't get used to the shifting in the short time it was on the stand...it's really strange how sram has it set up with one lever, sti type shifting...

I was talking to Mike earlier this year about road bikes and MTBs...he told me they were coming out with a 29er later this year, but havent heard anything since...

Any chance on a 29er 9-speed?

no those are deffinalty not the 2008's....the motobecane website isn't updated often, and you're gonna be better off waiting for the 08's to show up on the bikes direct website first...
