I did some quick searches on this website and did not find much about this bike. My LBS has a brand new 2012 Specialized Carve Comp 29 in my size (23” frame) that he said he would sell for about $450 less than retail. OK, so the price is good – now what about the bike? I am 230lbs, 6’,5” and a fairly avid street rider. I’d like to ride some trials this year – nothing crazy, dirt hills and a few small jumps. I ride an older GT Outpost with zero suspension. Bike is showing its age and I’d like something with front suspension. I don’t know much about the Carve, does anyone here have any ass-time on one?

Thanks
