There was a thread in June about potential bikes coming out at the end of the year. Cervelo just dropped a couple new bikes but what else is planned to come out? Any rumors?All the big players were expected to launch new road bikes or special edition bikes this year to align with the Olympics. Specialized, BMC and Giant have stuck with there launches, in-spite of the Olympic delay. I am not convinced Trek, Cannondale or Felt has shown their cards yet. The new Emonda looks very good but its not an Olympic bike in my mind. Cannondale launched the new Scalpel XC bike for the Olympics but they haven't done anything to the same degree on the road. Felt also has a history of making flashy special bikes for the Olympics but I suspect they will hold fire until Tokyo does or does not happen.
That is an interesting point. I thought the IOC had specified that everybody had to have there bike tech out and in competition something like 6 months before the Olympics, but I am guessing that might have only applied to track bikes. If it didn’t it would be interesting to see the ProTour guys scrambling to find last year’s road and TT bikes and I guess MTB as well.
