Bike Recall

Picked this up from VeloGirls elist. It is in regard to Specialized bikes.

Ack! Noooo, my dreams are shattered! I want that Roubaix, I mean sure it's fixable but that's kinda scary on such a spendy bike. Yikes! There was a really good article in Dirt Rag about how they got big box store bikes, and the stem bolts on one of them wasn't even tight. Thanks for the heads up, in my idealic world things like this don't happen to "real bikes."

I'm sure that the factory (specialized) would be doing the appropriate change out onsite from the date of the recall. So, if you haven't already purchased the bike...

Anytime there's mass production with parts coming in from all over the map, there's a risk. This factory or that might run a bad batch of something or other and it's not picked up in Quality Control... who knows.

Just glad I don't have to worry about it with my model (2003 Allez Comp) :D
