Now THAT is a nice bike. I have the Hoo Koo E Koo which is right below it, and the frame is the same except the Big Sur has the carbon stays with better components, so even lighter. I've been nothing but extremely pleased with my HKEK so far (after 6 months).

By the way, this forum has a definite bias towards Specialized. They are good bikes, but at the end of the day you should go with whatever feels best for you.

Ah ... thanks for the heads up on the forum bias! Sort of like how one of the triathlon forums i sometimes read is all about cervelo ... !!

I'm hoping I can find the Big Sur in my size to try out!!! I've heard nothing but good things about that bike ... and it looks damn cool too, IMO.
