Mighty Spoke Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Specialized is nice, but I would say cervelo. Is awesome! Checked them out and spoke to the local supplier about the new bikes, they really are awesome!
GreyOwl3.0 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 If your going on a "he said she said" basis, I would have to say that Cervelo come off second best yet again.Dunno how many people I have spoken to who have had problems with their frames...seen a couple here on the hub as well.Yes, they are cool, but not as reliable as the Spaz's. I think Cervelo push the envelope when it comes to their frames, and the problem is we are not exactly test subjects. We buy it hoping it will last and last. Its also unfair to associate their palmares with reliability. Both manufacturers have won Paris Roubaix, but I'm pretty sure the bikes were thrown away afterwards! We have to keep riding it...or use the warranty claim.
Wyatt Earp Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Why dont Specialized have a R&D team like the Cervelo test team ? Because they opted for a better R&D team and then +1 on what onetime said.Summit Cycles2009-06-07 11:45:57
GreyOwl3.0 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I think both bikes are cool...but spending my own money, Specialized would be the choice.
P.i.m.p Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Specialized Sl2 china!! I have one myself best bike in the WORLD!!
Nish4 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Why dont Specialized have a R&D team like the Cervelo test team ? Because they opted for a better R&D team and then +1 on what onetime said.Seeing that the Cervelo test team are at the top of the UCI rankings their R&D team must be doing something right ! I wouldn't mind having HAUSSLER, HUSHOVD & SASTRE on my R&D team..

Reg Lizard Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 BMC .. what did I just say that... Definately Specialized
cycleq Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Actually Boonen went thru something like 7 prototypes before they settled on the Roubaix SL2. Then he went and won Roubaix on the 8th prototype!! No need to field test with thousands of consumers first. But as my homie Boris would say, I might be prejudiced. And they have 2 test squads in the front ranks.
Bike Mob Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 My spaz has been awesome... and after all these comments I actually don't know what I would replace it with... If I chose to get something else?
Nish4 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Spaz is getting a bit of flack lately - https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=57299 https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=55401&KW=specialized https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=55048&KW=specialized
