Kranky Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Why beg, plead and get all excited about a 650B Specialized that may or may not come to South Africa when we already have a selection of 650B factory and custom build options on our shores? Are people really this brand befok that they'd rather go without than ride another brand? Edited March 31, 2014 by Nick. CleatsnCleavage, the nerd and MaXiMuM 3

Are people really this brand befok that they'd rather go without than ride another brand? because its "all about the geometry of the frame". Don't you listen to the marketing schnickschnack? BOOOO for that ****.

YUMEYA Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Why beg, plead and get all excited about a 650B Specialized that may or may not come to South Africa when we already have a selection of 650B factory and custom build options on our shores? Are people really this brand befok that they'd rather go without than ride another brand? I personally tried a few different brands in search of something to rid me of my spez fetish. But guess what, turns out it is not a fetish after all (ok maybe a little). After trying (owning) commencal meta 5.5 (still own) and 4, merida ninety six and One Twenty, giant anthem adv (still own), trance and ibis mojo I found that when it comes to fit and ride quality I prefer then spez does it for me. My mate is riding a ibis mojo after coming off a spez and he loves the Mojo and is even planning on getting the HD 650B next. I am still on a 26er and was tad worried what brand I would buy into next because spez was not going to do 650B. There goes that worry. So even though there are other brands that are doing 650B that are immediately available, some of us would much rather skip the trial and error bit and invest our hard earned cash in a bike that we know will work for us. Simple as that. Johny Bravo and Jacques Viljoen 2
Jacques Viljoen Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 I love everything about Specialized, the ride, geometry, the design, the brain, the marketing hype and most of all it feels right when ride so way buy anything else if I happy with Specialized. I'm not going to stop riding Specialized cos the guys on TheHub say it just marketing hype and it's overpriced (i make that mistake one before) I'm very happy with my bike and will keep supporting Specialized till I feels it's not working for me. I also can't see that anyone that appreciate good workmanship can look at a S-works and say "no not nice" Johny Bravo and YUMEYA 2
