Zoot1 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I know Specialized will be bringing in their bikes now but what a total disaster. No one knows when or what will be availible or if they will be dealers. Specialized head office say they are aware of the problems yet they do nothing. (Bit like RIM/Blackberry when it comes to communication) Whenever I look for a new bike Specialized has a problem with stock

Zoot1 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 The last time I had to get one I flew to London and got it there. Including the airfares and vat still cheaper than SA

andretraut Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 The last time I had to get one I flew to London and got it there. Including the airfares and vat still cheaper than SAI just compared the local Spez prices with foreign prices and I was surprised. I recently bought a S-Works SL4 frame locally for about R10K less than the advertised UK price of R31K. Then again, the Previal helmet which retail here for around R2.5K is sold in UK for R1.7K.

Why have you seemingly so radically reduced the number of dealers that you have or are the just not listed yet? Only one in the whole of the greater durban area is not good.
Shebeen Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 where are you guys going to be in stellies..close to a trail no doubt?
Capricorn Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hi SB-SA: what's the story with specialized downhill bikes? Is there still a silly embargo on those?

So you've got 6 stores in JHB, 5 in CT and 1 in Durban. Are you trying to make it hard to buy your products?
Paulst12 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 What is happening to the Concept Stores then? Do i hear the "For Sale" signs being put out on all their stock or will Specialized just buy it back?
