Hey, cross-post from the lounge, but seeing how you all are techno-junkies, figured you'd want to see.
Short story is I ride near the Giant office sometimes, and friday after work saw some guys who had to work there on some new stuff. They weren't into me trying to ask about them, but I snuck a pic from my car while they were packing up.
Anyone seen anythign like this yet? Any ideas on what it is?

When I was in Whistler, I also saw a proto Giant at the Marzocchi tent.

Different from what is on that pic.
They had a much bigger bike there too, but I didn't manage to get a pic of that, had a DH fork and stuff on it.

Hard to guess, but maybe bye-bye to the NRS and its Specialized liscensing fees? Looks like a baby VT system to me. Good for them.

They definately have a new FR bike planned. They were giving it away during the last UFC. Though the tubes on the bike in that pic look oversized, it appears to have a small shock on it.

Got any pics in some spy cam anywhere?
Sorry, it's the only pic I managed to get. I've seen those guys out there before though, so I think I'm gonna ride there for the next couple of fridays at the same time, maybe I'll get lucky again or something...

It appears from the matketing hypt that giant's been sending to dealers that they will have a whole new suspension platform that is torque-reactive. Someone with a scanner could post-up the connect the dots schematic they sent out...
