Due out in February. Looks pretty cool, I think. HTC

 

[PJ352]

I agree. Very cool!!

 

[bonz50]

nice!

One from the other side...

 

[PJ352]

I like the yellow/ green on alternate sides of the inner chain/ seat stays and fork blades. Nice looking bike from either side.

 

[Dr_John]

Nice. Hope Specialized is doing what they've done in the past - leaving the Highroad decal removable.

 

[SIX:am]

Nice!!!

may not appeal to Campy or SRAM fans ;-)

Had a Black/white/red standard color frame on order since August, and it still hasn't arrived. I think February might be wishful thinking..

 

[krocdoc]

bet you can't remove the shimano label....

Di2 Only?

I wonder if this frameset will be Di2 specific? I am not noticing any cable stops (except for the rear brake) and there appears to be some holes under the water bottle bosses on the seat tube. This would certainly explain the "Shimano" logo.

Good eyes! It would make some sense for the team bike to be Di2 specific. It'll be interesting to see if Cavendish rides with Di2. But I don't see the internal routing entry/exit points that the Roubaix S-Works has either. This makes me think that the picture might be the team frame, or a pre-production model, rather than the consumer one. I suspect that we will see internal cable routing on S-Works sooner or later though, largely motivated by Di2 and the Ultegra version.

Will this be frame only or come as a complete bike?

Frameset only, and only with the OSBB, according to the dealer site.

I like the paint scheme. As someone said earlier if the Shimano decals are under the clear coat I might have an issue with it.

hm...wonder why the use of the alloy bb shell, instead of the PF30 setup on the other frames.

 

[pdainsworth]

I believe, though I am not certain, this was a pre-production mock-up. My guess is that Spesh took a Pro and painted it up at their HQ in Morgan Hill.

 

[ukbloke]

It might be a team issue bike - in which case they'll be running Shimano cranks (Dura Ace with Di2).

 

[Dr_John]

So it's Di2 specific, but with an OSBB?

 

[PJ352]

So it's Di2 specific, but with an OSBB?

I'm not suggesting that's the case here, but if it is, there are adapters available that allow the use of Shimano cranksets with BB30's (or, OSBB's as Spec prefers):
