This time of year is one of the coolest times to work in a bike shop. You start getting in the really cool stuff for the next model year. Now is a great time to go into a bike shop and ask what cool stuff have you gotten in for next year. Any shop employee is going to be really excited to talk about the stuff that’s come in for next year. In the last couple weeks we’ve gotten a S-works Epic 29er XTR (which is absolutely gorgeous in person, the pictures on the Specialized website don’t do it justice), one of the new Venge Pro bikes, and what I think is the most exciting development for the bike industry for 2012: the electronic Ultegra (UI2) bikes. We just received one of the Tarmac SL4 Pro with UI2. The UI2 bikes are going to be a great value if you are interested in electronic shifting (about the price of a mechanical Dura-Ace bikes, and weighing similarly).
