2008 bikes...when do they hit the stores usually?

[pollu_sean]

This may be a really stupid question...but does anyone know when the 2008s usually hit the stores? In the market for a new bike and wondering if I should (could) wait until the new bikes come out....

thanks

Well, what did you think of it. I know you can't really put any ride time on it, but how does it feel as far as plushness and laterall stiffness? Is it light, what color/s?

I'm looking for something to put on my Surly 1X1, and I thought I'd wait till the 08 stuff came out.

I got a Surly Karate Monkey fork, you can make it a 69er!

It used to be late fall. But I think companies all release early now and start pittering out bikes towards the end of the summer season.

Anyone excited to check out the 2008 Coilairs with that funky suspension that raises/lowers the rear wheel based on whether your climbing or descending?

I believe it is the same internals as last year. Basically seemed like just a color and sticker change. The one we received was dark greay with silver stickers......I know on the Fox website it says it is supposed to be silver or white.
