IS here! (well, at the LBS at least) She should be in my hands very shortly, My Precious

Anyone else who has received their 2013 evo, please feel free to add pics to this thread. I've started this thread from my obsession of the bike and for the general benefit of the community, of course.

[rcjonessnp175]

Believe thats the Expert thats black and orange not the comp.....

Here she is... Her name is HARMONY. Because everything on this bike just works together so beautifully.

looks awesome! When is the maiden voyage?! Found out mine didn't get delivered today but my lbs said it should still be early this week. I guess early this week must mean Tuesday? Cause Wednesday is mid week in my book.

You already got yours? My LBS said late September for my expert carbon to get in

Big shipment coming late September/early October.

I still haven't heard any rumor of the Evo HTs beyond the carbon one will be a rigid. Anyone know what the aluminum version will look like this year?

I work for reps

Found specs for the 2013 Stumpjumper Evo HT(alloy)



Full spec at 2013 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO 29 | Babylon Bike Shop

Cliff's Notes on changes from 2012 model...

Fox Float CTD Evolution fork
Magura MTS brakes
Sram X0 Type 2, mid cage

[TiGeo]

Looks like the grips are different than the 2012 and the front tire is now a 2.3 vs. 2.2 on this year's model. Finally, they have 28mm rims where this year I believe they were 26mm. Looks great!

Anyone know what the MSRP on the 13 FSR Evo Comp 26 is going to be?

[Mr.P]

Beauty! Need detailed ride report!

Anyone know what the MSRP on the 13 FSR Evo Comp 26 is going to be?

I'm pretty sure it's unchanged at $3300

when can we expect to see a far evo expert on here.

[Beerglass]

What size would or should I order. I'm 5.5" and my old stumpy comp 2006 was small

This felt alittle tiny but when riding a medium this felt to big.

i am just under 6ft tall and ride a med with a 50mm stem and the bike is perfect. when i had the 60mm stem the bike actually felt to big.

Thanks

So does the small and medium come with same stem (60mm)

If so going on what you say me at 5.5 I'll be better on a small

best bike ever hands down. i have a dh bike and a 4x bike and i have barely touched them this summer. i am on the stumpy 2 or 3 times a week and the bike is a complete beast. it helped me fall in love with riding again. my only my only complaints are i didn't like the bars and stem so i changed them. i am going 1x10 this week and the tires are not the best. but other then that the bike is a blast.

I've only got 2 rides on mine so far but I can tell I am starting a love affair. My wife is going to be jealous. Love the ride so far, still tweaking adjustments and ride characteristics but such an improvement over my 08 stumpy, simply by design. Swapped stem for a 50mm Thomson x4, cuz I had one, swapped grips for oury's cuz I love them, swapped saddle for charge spoon cuz my ass appreciates it, and went 1x10 with a bbg bash guard sandwich setup.... with a 32t front ring. Really psyched about that, rides awesome and is super quiet. I might even remove the pulley/stinger setup since I don't think it would be necessary and could reduce weight/ friction even further. Will have to evaluate its necessity over the next few rides. Still awaiting carbon bars, and not sold on the purgatory rear tire - though I do like the butcher in front. Have done tubeless conversion as well. Really happy to find spec included removable core valve stems for that. Nice touch.

Will post pimped pics in a few days.
