rawbone Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Wonder if this isn't a matter of availability. Are there other brands that have specialist stores in SA like Specialized? If there were Cannondale exclusive shops that carried all the Cannondale branded gear as well, I wonder if we'd see lots of head to toe Cannondale wearing fans too? The thought crossed my mind in traffic this morning... as these things do...
Eldron Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Sad story, but he is right. So as a Spez rider, I'll openly admit, I miss my Niners. Things just ain't the same... This should make you feel better
pista Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Never had any issues with Spesh riders and have one of these on my wish list.
Morwa Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I've never had issues with Specialized bikes or Spez riders. Just enjoy the ride.....whatever you ride! But this is a bit arrogant in my opinion.....! Test the Best? .....just dont forget to bring your credit card! Just my point of view......

It is there to figure out whether you need a Epic, or a Camber or Stumpy etc etc. Credit card and drivers license is purely needed because we live in good old crime ridden SA. And seeing a s-works is worth the same as a polo vivo, do you blame them for asking? Very few other companies provide these demo days, Giant have a few, but nowhere near as big.

Just my point of view......"Test the 2nd best" doesnt quite sound right does it....... every leading brand should believe what they create is the best or they shouldnt be in business....

Other bike companies have a few well used entry level bikes available. I did a ride before you buy day almost 2 years ago before buying my Stumpy FSR. I was convinced that I wanted an Epic until I rode the Stumpy.

Keeping my epic and selling off some other bikes. Now if I can only decide between the expert or comp carbon. mmmm.

Perhaps I should keep the Stumpy and get the other bikes anyway. So confused. Dont lnow what to do.

So badly want to test that Enduro.

So badly want to test that Enduro.My old man just got himself one to go with his Epic, I have never seen a 50+ year old man look so happy and smile like a child when he rides it. So I suggest you try it out, at that "arrogant" test the best function.
Johny Bravo Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 What puts me off on the enduro is the 1x 10 gearing setup. I would buy the comp version, I have too many expensive, R50k + bikes, so the expert model is no go.
popcorn_skollie Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Is it safe to comment in here now? The way I feel about spez is pretty much the same way I feel about R kelly.I hate that guy...BUT every time bump and grind comes on, I be like....aawwww yeeaah...
Matchstix Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Specialized did something wonderfulThey made it easy to spot the level of intelligence of the rider.One only needs one brain while riding a mtb
eddy Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Maybe the detractors have a point. I wore Spez socks last week on 94.7 and they sucked all the glycogen out of my body and my legs hurt this week.
