I have two older Specialized Dolces (an Elite and a Comp). Both have many, many miles on them. After I purchased a couple steel bikes and a ti bike, the Dolces became my permanently-attached-to-the-trainer bike and my 'beater-bad weather' bike. Both are running strong despite a couple years of less-than-perfect riding conditions.

I'll probably never buy another Specialized because I went custom and once you go custom.... well enough said. If I add a new bike (not likely in the near future), it'll probably be another Luna or another Seven.

That aside, I consider the Specialized bikes I own as quality, durable, hard workers.
