BrendonMyb Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 dont shoot me down here. Bearing in mind that ive never even come close to riding a specialised machine so granted i dont know what im talking about when it comes to their bikes. my question is: what makes them think that they are the fishizle. There are plenty other high end bikes out there that im my mind possibly ride just as well as one of specialiseds bikes for half the price & arent full of k@k when it comes to putting on different/upgraded better parts or am i completely off track ? like i said ive never been even close to riding one so this is just a question My other question is: Are they really worth the money that some people pay for these bikes. I mean honestly - it seems like daylight robbery in my eyesBumpNgrind2009-07-02 23:46:40
Schwynn Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 a rep's actions aren't going to put me off a brand. specialized make really good stuff. I do agree, but ask yourself what will the after sales service be like with this attitude.
Tumbleweed Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 dont shoot me down here.

There are plenty other high end bikes out there that im my mind possibly ride just as well as one of specialiseds bikes or am i completely out of my mind ? like i said ive never been even close to riding one so this is just a question My other question is: Are they really worth the money that some people pay for these bikes. I mean really - it seems its daylight robbery but as i said thats just me personally, i'm not the biggest fan of the mtbs - although i rode an enduro the other day that could easily earn a place in my wobble of bikes - but i do love my tarmac road bike. specialized make other excellent stuff like gloves, shoes, etc?
Veloce Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I was put off specialized 2 years ago at the Sani2C with the reps bad attitiude and their crap service. At the time, I was looking to get a tarmac pro roadbike and at a later stage, an S-Works hardtail. After this incident I got neither and will never look at a spez again. Ended up getting a Bianchi 928 SL which is far superior anyway . Veloce2009-07-03 00:00:52
Gerhardc Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Any idea why this topic is under the "FOR SALE" banner????
PPWTF Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Post moved to 'rant and rave', out of respect for the original poster trying to help out a shop and make some sales PPWTF2009-07-03 00:04:47
Gerhardc Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I am also "speechless", this topic is still under the "for sale" banner.....do you wanna sell your shop, Deltahotel...or all your Specialized stock at a HUGE discount???? Gerhardc2009-07-03 00:19:55
Free Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Mate...thats the way they row their boat. A while back I worked for a big bike shop in JHB. From all the suppliers we got the kakkest service from the special guys. They've got very crap attitudes and are very arrogant. Its not a bad brand to stock, but they think its their way or the highway, and that attitude is going to bite them in the ass.
Deltahotel Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 And then lastly... on my original post I said that the rep didn`t want to come down to see me, because it is not worth it. Here`s the thing. A while ago Spez initiated a computer program where you can order what you want online... that is great for the retail shops and their system is flawless! If anybody orders, the sale goes under that reps name, so the commision obviously goes to the rep.. so why wanna come see me if you are already making money without me even seeing you??? All in all I am going to follow your advice. Myself and my shop is finito with Specialized.
Tumbleweed Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 delta, pardon my ignorance, but what's the name of your shop?
Gerhardc Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 my 2c....Like always.....there are two sides to a story and this is the one side.......hmmmmm....I wonder what the other side would be??
NotSoBigBen Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Ah the hubbers - self appointed judge, jury and executioner Who cares about hearing both sides of the story, getting all the facts etc. etc. and then finding the truth which generally lies somewhere in between. Then a couple of days later as we have seen in some recent posts possible apologies and retractions - ah another days of our lives episode, at least no crying like in Greys and Easy's untimely demise I hope .......
AndreZA Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 My local Hustler Xtreme shop stopped stocking Private Collection DVDs because the agency has been taken away from them due to them not moving enough stock. So does anybody know where I can brown lock-on grips that does not cost R300.Mampara2009-07-03 01:25:17
