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 eyes

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. smiley5.gif

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?

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 Tongue.

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.

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.

Ah the hubbers - self appointed judge, jury and executioner Thumbs%20Up

 

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 .......

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
