Been to my local spesh dealer to put some money down on a new 29er carbon stumpy (comp carbon) and was rather taken with the red / black version they had rather than the standard black / blue. Clearly after investigation this is the test fleet colour scheme, but the bike has never been ridden and is as brand spanking new as it came out of the box. So I put a deposit down. My only concern afterwards is whether the spec on the test colour versions is any different ? I.e any significant downgraded parts to account for the fact that its a test bike destined for abuse.
Hopefully not because I am not getting it any cheaper, I way prefer the colour, despite people knowing its the test color scheme. But would only be concerned if the bike wasn't "full production spec". Hope someone with experience of spesh test bikes could put my mind at rest. Thanks
