It's funny, cause like Sean said, I can see 26" taking the standard away from 20".I think progression has just pushed things to where we are headed in cycling right now. I love my bikes so I never even look at whats new until i have a broken frame or something, so I'm not "cutting edge" really but it is funny that "new" stuff on this board is rarely anywhere near just released.AND NORM, as long as i breathe you will never pay retail again.............................Spez,Trek,Bianchi,Haro,Cannondale,Iron Horse are your only constraints.BFFHT70
