V12man Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 That shop has amazing service! Is that the sarcasm font? I hung around for 20 min... took some photos for Dips of the electric pushbike, and left eventually - nobody even asked me if they could help....
Gen Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Can't we just rather discuss Patch and the prospect of Sagan doing lap dances at a concept store
raptor-22 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 If that is true, that is f*cking ridiculous. Imagine walking into a Merc dealer and telling them you want to drop more than a bar on a new AMG and they tell you that you're not a good enough driver.Ferrari won't let you take delivery of a new Ferrari till you pass their advanced driving certificate. And they won't sell you a la ferrari ferrari unless you have owned a 288 GTO, F40, F50 or other hyper car.
Speeltyd Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I have been dealing with Centurion Cyclery since they opened store. Everyone there, from Gert to the Sergio, including Graham, are friendly, capable, eager to offer advice and always willing for a chat. Graham specifically has given me some good advice and assistance with my setup.Since I know Graham, and not Terry T, I take the latter's accusations with a pinch of salt - otherwise too stale.We have not heard Graham's side, but I will give him the benefit. In my opinion, Terry's just looking for a fight.... Centurion Cyclery is a good outfit, and the brand is super!

Porsche too for that matter - for some of their models they can become VERY touchy about selling you some of the models until they know your driving capability... the nickname "widowmaker" is not a joke....
Rudi Pollard Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Think the original post was re service. If the seller was unaware of the crack, OP did him a favour. Re pricing, that's for the 2 of them to decide. I don't think a new frame is the same as a new bike, but from my understanding of the situation, buyer isn't keen at all on the white frame; but is interested in buying a S works frame set of his choosing, where the retailer could be making a grand or 2, as opposed to just swooping out a frame. Always try and sell up...It's how it's being handled that is at issue here.Yip I understand that the issue is with how Graham handled the situation. Just very interesting that he is buying it second hand of a hubber, sees the crack and tries to take a gap to get an sworks frame...
Tumbleweed Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 just help the guy out, not that hard. Sounds like a good customer. The amount of money a person spends doesn't make them a good customer.
Gen Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Ferrari won't let you take delivery of a new Ferrari till you pass their advanced driving certificate. And they won't sell you a la ferrari ferrari unless you have owned a 288 GTO, F40, F50 or other hyper car. Yeah... but you don't have to pedal a Ferrari
Tumbleweed Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Asking Specialized SA if i could perhaps upgrade frame replacement to S-Works frame and pay in the difference i was informed to request this from dealer, centurion-Graham just refuse to accommodate this request without any valid explanation, becoming aggressive through this discussion,stating they will never do this, This bit is interesting. "Without any valid explanation". That suggests there could have been an explanation, but it just didn't seem valid to you...
raptor-22 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah... but you don't have to pedal a Ferrari For sure. Just highlights the pretence some push bike marketers go to to extract our cash
velomonatiCT Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Haters will hate.If you think that the OP has any merit in bashing the brand you are probably a bigger tjop than what he comes over as.PS: My stance would have been the same if it was a 'dale, a Cruz or any other bike for that matter. At least it was not a Giant Anthem, with a now-oversized headset that would constitute a fork replacement as well compared to early models. see what I mean I state the obvious and now im a "bigger tjop" which I assume is an insult what a bunch of classy people own spaz equipment thanks fellow cyclist ill remember to only have an opinion that agrees with yours from now on ever wondered why spaz has its "haters"....maybe you just showed why ..

Many people who own specialized think they've arrived. Some do it in jest while others really believe their own bs
ahp005 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Yip I understand that the issue is with how Graham handled the situation. Just very interesting that he is buying it second hand of a hubber, sees the crack and tries to take a gap to get an sworks frame...So he is paying the price difference between the two frames of R14000 what is wrong with that.
American Flyers Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I disagree with the agent who replaced your frame with different colour and they should replace similar colour because of your favourite colour clothing to go with frame... Say you ride orange frame with orange shoe and orange helmet, they replace your frame with red colour. You will look funny with wrong colour or replace clothing as well.....
Gen Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Many people who own specialized think they've arrived. Some do it in jest while others really believe their own bsAaah that's just a general ahole thing... and because Lance lied therfore it must be all about the bike..[emoji6]
Gen Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Freaking hell.. I forgot I am not allowed to say things about Spez as I bought a second hand tarmac. . Are there allowances for me.. as it is second hand and older? Dammit Edit.. Spez is awesome. .Sagan made them cool again.
