Yes, because RS Revelations, Fox floats, SRAM Groupsets and Shimano groupsets are all proprietary tech that only belongs to Spesh.

[GLuvsMtb]

Only the Spesh specific goods like Brain shocks etc. The rest is bog standard cycling equipment.

Lies... ALL LIES!!!!

Maybe you just so short the wheels look very big?? Huh? Hairy is a dwarfs name isn't it?

Should trade my large frame in for an XL to hopefully look like a 26'er bike again

[Edw1n]

Personally i believe a bike is as good as the components.

The frame for me is a personal preference.

I am a big GT fan so i will always prefer a Zaskar.

Good use of Sartalics

partly...as Eldron pointed out, the spez brains are the things in question here.

 

Now before you gooi a vloermoer here is the deal, it requires specific training / tools / materials to be worked on. All that spez is doing is trying to ensure a consistent experience for people riding their bikes. For some people its a brilliant concept, for some a ball ache.

 

Your strength is your weakness and your weakness is your strength....
