came across this website searching for production dates because i just bought an 09 hoo koo e koo and i was told its estimated arrival is nov 11. But it seems that these bikes are already being produced and rolled out. Does anyone know when all of the models will be available

I just got this bike 2 days ago and I love it. I went to the bike shop to get a deal on a 2008 bike but this bike fit so good and it was only about $50 more in the end. This bike has alot of good components on it that were not there last year. I personally got the Marlin with disc brakes. I went for a ride the night that I got it and it was very smooth (the tires which seemed very shallow also handle mud very well)

From the rep’s mouth it looks like hardtails are going up due to the economy, but there is a huge 26″ hard tail market overseas. Here for high end hardtails you are looking boutique or 29″

european only? that’s odd. do you know why they would make such a move? it’s hard to believe that there is no demand on the american hardtail market…

I asked my trek rep. The Big Sur for ‘09 is European only.

About the big sur 2009. It IS on the website:

but for some reason it´s not available from the index of G2 hardtails:

Strange.

thanks for the pictures. and i was wondering… does anyone know why isn’t there a G2 “big sur” for 2009? i can’t find it on the gary fisher website, which is really a pity because i was looking forward to riding one this year.

yea…

bummer that the increased demand does not contribute to bike prices being lower

my wife and are are each shopping for bikes
well… I finished my shopping and started buying
but with my wife we are not waiting for the 2009s
we are looking for a well specked out bike that meets here needs/desires
the problem is size

so we are guessing around

sorry… long story
maybe the rise in prices will aid in clearing out all the 08 stock

either way
I am stoked to retire the geared Karate Monkey from racing
I bet my new Niner Rip 9 will bring me the smiles that my first 29ers gave me
bikes you may recall from your days up north near the mason dixon line
