I'ts PB official now: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/jared-graves-specialized-team-2016.html
Which parts?I am still open to placing it...parts of my statement will def hold true.
atleast you had a nice tranny to body roll on
1. If you want a pretty good laugh, read this post start to finish, many people were very far off on their guesses.
2. I'm still waiting for a call. I still believe that my applications have been lost.

Told Ya...
You totally did, stuck that ugly POS where it belongs....I treated mine right.
also no kickstand....or sandwich for that matter
I don't think anyone's doubted he was leaving Specialized. You still wanna bet on whether or not he's going back to Trek?
Sheesh, what was the aftermath, both to you and the bike?!I treated mine right.
Broken brake lever and mild abdominal pain from laughter.
I could hear that thing pinballing underneath the landing framing for a good 2 seconds
You want to hate fuck my old bike don't you?

I thought that Hall has been with Specialized forever... Why post a huge article about your mechanic's relationship with his rider ("looking forward to many more years") if your rider is leaving... Plus the article has specialized gear/bikes splashed all over it...

one last hurrah
I don't think now that gwin and specialized have finally gotten dialed in together would he leave. I think he's going to stick around for a bit, especially while he remains at the top of the game.
The more important question......
What front tire is this? I kept seeing this pattern in head-on riding shots and wasn't sure I was seeing correctly with shutter blur. This is not a hillbilly. And the sideknobs are angled in a functional direction so it's not a schwalbe

It is a Hillbilly. On the 650 and 29er sizes I updated the tread pattern. The team guys just like to trim them a little bit for various reasons.

Was gonna say Butcher with the center knobs trimmed down. But 1) Why?! and 2) looking more closely, spacing between center knobs looks too wide to be Butcher.
well he was just getting "dialed" with Trek before he left

Indeed, but he also wasn't the multi time world cup champ like he is now. Why go through all of that development again when he's being paid like he is now? Someone else might throw more money at him, like we all assume the Big S did to lure him away from trek, but after going through the make this bike work for me development and the off years on the demo, why go through that again when you don't have to and you're in your prime?
He may do it, but i just don't see it, but I'm also not right very often.
Two out of his now three total ain't good enough for you? Those first two were on trek.
That dude had plenty of leverage of his own when he left. He used it.
edit: akkordin' to this here wiki, he's actually the first ever murkin uci world cup champ.

Dayum, is that right?
Well, to be fair, us Freedomers were too busy collaborating with the Canucks on freeriding, which meant pushing designs from Karpiel Apocalypses to Knolly V-tachs. We didn't have time to worry about going fast, especially when there were cedar ladders to be ridden, hucks to be dropped to flat, steep rock faces to skid down, and plaid flannels to be worn while riding (and developing a novel bike storage system - now known as the "High Speed Lander Repository").
Now that the whole freeride thing has been addressed, we've now focused our attention on mph's, which has resulted in Gwinning and one Mr. Chainsaw.
As for the possibility of Gwin returning to Trek, I will just leave this here -
Once again, I've probably said too much...
