They were there but hidden, and then we found them, and then they got pulled. Possible reasons include:ping771 said:anyone have a clue why the Specialized website still does not have the 2011 models?

Sure, but imagine what it does to national/international 2010 sales and pricing, the moment that they push the button to go live with the new bikes. At the moment I presume that they are "stealth" shipping the 2011 bikes and catalogs into stores or geographical areas with low 2010 inventory. If you really want to see the range, go to a Specialized store and ask to see the 2011 catalog and availability.ping771 said:All logical reasons, but that appears to be contradicted by the fact they are selling the 2011's now, and people are taking delivery of them as we speak.?!
I think the last one is the most likely.ukbloke said:They were there but hidden, and then we found them, and then they got pulled. Possible reasons include:
