SPECIALIZED........not really.

[kamikaze]

That?s my point!

 

 

 

There is no ?specialized SA?, only some dude who wants sole importing rights (and a way to please his buddies).

 

Screw him, if you have a problem, go directly to the source in the USA!

 

 

 

The same goes for ANY product which is not made here in SA.

I bought my Epic 5 years ago at Summit Cycles. Since then, not a single breakage or component failure experienced. Shocked at whats happened to the prices since then. Get this: I paid about R17,500-00 and its replacement value is now R32500-00 for insurance purposes. Anyone wanna steal an EPIC?  Kidding for the record.

 

I guess your whole experience can be soured by one guy, but for me there is only one brand (ok maybe I'd try FELT or the Giant Anthem next).

Their prises is crazy, Put on handle grips, Saw them for R260 and when I took my bike in for a service went up to R290 in 3 days.

 

But then when I had a problem with the rear hub the LBS ordered the part and it was sorted, as it was still under waranty. Also My LBS is always willing to help. They get a quick responce from Specialized. When I baught my bike, the other shops I had to wait at least a week to get the bike. Dunkeld ordered the bike for me, the guy from Specialized came and droped the bike off personaly, setup was done and had the bike withing 3 days.
