This much was clear when you tried to tell us Montreal had the most beautiful women in the world.

Or that it was the best city for Dh racing.
BAHAHAHHAHAHA...that's epic
Like you've never drank moonshine and gone out on the town?
"Also spotted on Hill's bike were a new RockShox Boxxer fork with DLC-coated stanchions for smoother operation"
where have they been for the last 3 years?

The forx?
Read that last week and my first thought was "where have they been?" The bike was debuted(softly) at Chamepry last September and both DLC and air Vivid are 3 years old. A little off the back on this one....
-2 points for incorrectly stating that consumers don't associate light weight and gravity racing and for completely overlooking the new tubeless DT wheels.

even saying they knew they were not allowed to take photos!
hopefully that paint job wont make it to production. i see that shiny part looking like sh!t real fast.
more sweet reporting

It looks in line with other Specialized 'Project Black' paint schemes, much like aluminum proto that he raced in '10. likely more for recognition as such than anything else.

I won't comment on the accuracy of his statements, but come one, you debut a new bike at a public event, and then get angry when people take pics of it while it sits out in the open?! that's just funny.
The bikes were not visible from the public area and were not "in the open."

i figured they would tone down the paint scheme for this particular bike but as a production color, it would suck. or is project black a actual production color?
this isnt "in the open?"
Not when you see it in context... They were when you were standing INSIDE the pitspace, behind a shipping container and 30' from the public area.this isnt "in the open?"
So no, not really.

meh, it's a carbon bike, which everyone expected (last year even)...I still don't think it's really that big a deal...but then again, I think the bike industry is generally pretty funny, or lame, your choice! 
From what I understand it's basically the new name for what S-Works used to be, think "Black Box." I know some of the road bikes have come to market in this color but Specialized surely understands the power of vanity so I doubt there won't be other colors.
The first aluminum incarnation of this frame was the same color, check page 1.

This. Hell, I would get it if they were breaking new ground, and putting carbon in DH bikes when it had never been done before, but there were literally three teams that successfully raced carbon bikes that were either already full production or soon to be, last year alone. And hell, its not exactly as if the tech is new, they were doing it in the 90s. Yes, tech has gotten more sophisticated, and its actually a genuine improvement over the old stuff,
If you show people something too far in advance of it's actualy release to the public, it takes away from the impulse to purchase it.
Keep it under wraps. Time your marketing. Unveil. Buy. Buy. Oh, dear heavens...BUY! BUY NOW!!!

actually, it takes away from the impulse to buy what's currently in your warehouse/in production.
yeah well, there's always something new and improved going to be coming out in the future, duh.
Can you say: "Viral marketing campaign."?
