Fisan Posted August 12, 2015 Share What happened to the BMT-Specialized relationship? I see they're pushing Trek bikes now. Nothing against one or the other, but I find this strange since the non-Spec-concept-store in Stellenbosch was the goto place for the Specialized pro athletes.

Johny Bravo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Spaz South Africa are in the process of building one mother of a concept store in Stellenbosch. They have big big plans for it, linking it to local trails etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapunzel Posted August 12, 2015 Share I believe BMT were given the option to become a concept store but their floorspace was not large enough. Looks like the concept store model isn't working out quite like they thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droenn Posted August 12, 2015 Share looks like they're dumping all the old spez stock onto the classifieds well shoes at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varkie Posted August 12, 2015 Share To sum it up, that relationship "het sy gat gesien.." Specialized ended the relationship because of them wanting to do their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, will be sticking to the independent bike shops in Stellies more fervently then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Bravo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Not a Trek fan at all. But they have some nice Yetis on the floor, but those Yetis prices make a s works seem like a real bargain. Always serviced my bikes with Bmt, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonF_ Posted August 12, 2015 Share They cast the bait, hooked some shop owners with their fancy flare, got the sales and market share, plenty profit, and the 5year "Boot" them all plan kicks into place.....I must say, it does have a Spez 'ring' to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they fund trail building I couldnt really care. As long as I get to ride awsome trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always serviced my bikes with Bmt, great shop. Yeti ASR C frame going for around R37k, S-Works frame for around R50k. Yeti lighter than the S-Works. Don't think that's a bad deal!

JohanC Posted August 12, 2015 Share I don't agree with the Spez "business model" and what's currently happening here in the Western Cape with regards to some stores. As soon as I can I will move away from the Spez brand. Just need to convince Pyga to make me a small Stage frame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
