All this negativity towards Spec is in my humble opinion just jealousy I bought a Stumpy a few years ago and to say the least its an awesome bike but i feel when we spend these huge sums of money at least we feel proud of a brand that really puts something back into mtb. To say its not a good brand is totally wrong as i dont think that the likes of Sauser,Kulhavy and the late legend Stander would ride a inferior bike. So lets just all enjoy our bikes and worry about other more serious issues at hand.
