Have you seen this bad boy?Still thinking, maybe too much thinking not enough action
Seeing my local Specialized dealer this Saturday and might drop past the Scott shop tomorrow
Not liking that much
Def at the xc end of the spectrum, but decent spec for the $. From your original post, it should be good to start with, as many have said you'll find more where you're wanting to go with the sport in 6-12 months.
We can still be friends even if I wear the bum sock occasionally. Whippet, well noooo............
I don't think I'm a brand snob happy to just gets bike
Just took a look, interesting??
Lemme guess...Specialized store in Launnie??Well did the lunch time lbs visit dressed in my worker day best, so no I didn't look like a bikie enforcer or worse; seems I also included a dash of "special power" cloaking this morning because the shop staff failed to see me wandering around all the lovely offerings and I got zero interest from the assembled masses. Maybe I looked like a cheap bike buyer and not worthy of acknowledgement.
Shop wasn't buzzing either one bloke my age buying some widget or another and various staff fetosises doing not much it seemed
Guess who won't be getting this bunnies bucks
There's a surprisingly large number of bike shops like that.
Yep, hard to keep staff engaged in any role.
I dropped into that store once to check out the new Enduro. They didn't have any in stock and the salesman then preceded to tell me how Specialized run 650B wheels not like the other brands who run 27.5 which don't roll as well
Everytime I think of Specialized I feel like the kid telling the emperor he has no clothes. Almost every aspect of that brand is bullshit and yet they are considered one of the big three.I dropped into that store once to check out the new Enduro.

Would have to agree there. Although I am partial to their older stuff but after the Roubaix Cafe fiasco, Mike Sinyard can suck the big one. I bet they only backed down due to bad PR.
Damn right. I posted on the Specialized FB page at the time - that Sinyard was a pointless shitstain and he could go fuck himself with a barbed wire gauntlet. Or words to that effect. but probably those exact words.
Totally agree, an all up shit situation that shouldn't have ever developed the way that it did. I cringe when ever walking past those 'experience' bike shops that Specialized seem to have here and there.
