SNEAK PEAK: THE NEW P.3
This bit of sweetness just came from Deacon James at Specialized. Super cool!
Deacon is in charge of P.bikes. I sent him a link to The most versatile bike ever, and he sent back:

alright, that looks pretty dope…
dope indeed.

Is that a new specialized branded green wheelset?
And is this a P.1? It looks like the frame is Hydroformed Aluminum - where was the Old P.1 is Cromoly steel.
And then there is a lack of bash guard.
I think I’m asking to much — I get the feeling it’s not final.

New hotness, are those hoops green anodized?
leelikesbikes Says July 8, 2008 @ 8:11 am
Yes. P.1 single speed. Specialized wheels.
Dan Says July 8, 2008 @ 12:20 pm
Well, ditch the front brake. That thing is a dirt jumper through and through. You’ll be tossing 3’s in no time.
Trevor Says July 9, 2008 @ 10:41 pm
the specialized wheels are a partnership thingy with DT swiss so they should be super nice!!
the wheels are going on all the p/sx/demo bikes as of next year, and should be a whole lot better than the d540 things they currently have

Whats the fork?
leelikesbikes Says July 10, 2008 @ 9:37 am
It looks like a Marzocchi something-or-other.
klonkdiklnok Says July 10, 2008 @ 11:45 am
looks more like R S with tha maxxle axlethink its an agyle
Mike Says July 10, 2008 @ 12:30 pm
I’d be all over it if they put some real wheels on it. For those that ride hard and constantly land sligtly sideways they just dont cut it…
pperini Says July 10, 2008 @ 12:38 pm
judging by the Maxle, its an Argyle…
Speci Says July 11, 2008 @ 6:08 am
yeah i knwo,but wich modell?318 because of the red thing at the bottom
Austin Says July 11, 2008 @ 9:27 am
the fork is a rock shox argyle

What’s up Lee!
Looks pretty SWEET!
Do you think this bike comes in a size that would work for a 6′-2″ 200lb guy?
Saddle that low kinda looks like it might not work for me… but I don’t know… never ridden a bike with that kind of geometry.
Thanks Buddy!
Keep it BRAPPPIN’ Brotha’!
leelikesbikes Says July 12, 2008 @ 1:37 pm
I dunno about the sizing.
For a guy your size, the bike will probably be ultra-quick and snappy.
This bike shouldn’t fit like an XC hardtail — it’s supposed to be little and low.

I was looking at some other links for the specialized P3 2009 model and its the same as this so this might actually by the new P3, this would make sense cause they wouldnt be giving you argyles and hydralic disks on a $800 P1 they’d be on the $1700 P3
leelikesbikes Says July 14, 2008 @ 3:30 pm
Oops.
I looked back at Deacon’s message. It is a P.3.
The single gear fooled me. I will correct the post.
osg Says July 15, 2008 @ 2:32 pm
oh thats sick that you dont have to waste your time singel speeding it.. has anyone seen the new P1 yet?
Paul Says July 15, 2008 @ 7:41 pm
I saw this in person at Copper mountain along with the entire 09 line up. The bikes are impressive to say the least.
tommy Says July 19, 2008 @ 5:28 pm
this frame is sick!! anyway i could get my hands on just the frame when it comes out?
leelikesbikes Says July 19, 2008 @ 10:57 pm
Good question. Lemme check into that.
I sure hope so!
tommy Says July 29, 2008 @ 3:37 pm
