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....

No legit! Maybe there were some teething problems in the beginning with staff. Their employee turnover seemed rather high and there was always a new face but it's settled now. Great people; that's what makes a shop after all. Give them another try  :thumbup:

This doesn't soud like a brand (Specialized) problem, more of of an individual at a LBS problem. My local Spez Concept Store has been nothing short of excellent with their service. I've had a warranty claim on my 2014 Camber Expert, I got a 2015 frame as a replacement. I was also a Spez-hater until I saw how they backed their products.

Name them, they deserve it.

Actually, it seems Spez didn't entertain the upgrade and left it in the hands of the dealer...now why would they do that?

we have a spaz shop that opened here... they look at me funny when I walk in, it's probably because i never buy anything there...I have walked in about 5 times.

 

Maybe next time I will buy socks.. if they have funky ones.. wait it's a Spaz shop there will be only S's no funkiness.

 

*please forgive me, I believe the heatwave is getting to me*

He did mention 2014, but the orange paint scheme only became available on the 2015 frame from what I can find in the specialized archive

Nice bike. If only the frame was white......

Oh, wait..

Oh, wait..

 

 

I completely missed that the bike was Orange to begin with

 

 

Then they are doing exactly what they should no? replacing like for like

 

ag nee OP.. Sell the Orange frame and take the proceeds and then add your extra dosh and go buy yourself a white more Spaz frame

 

OH WAIT... if he did that he would have to actually add more dosh to buy his more Spaz frame..

 

Plus who will buy the orange frame.

 

Oh I just think he saw a gap here.

 

Plus if he didn't like the Orange.. why did he buy it/thought a bout buying it

I clearly have 3 choices here, sell my Spez, kill myself before its too late, or ignore people who make generalist statements and rather focus on the topic at hand here, which is about OP and Graham.

 

 

Before you make any choices, make sure everyone knows you have "arrived". It's expected of Specialized riders.

Good point....where are you Graham?

 

Both sides would be lekker!

 

As Wayne said, Graham's waiting 'til tomorrow. Then there'll be k@k.
