Yeah Jiffer, I know it's a touchy subject because so many ladies on here have specialized bikes. Like I said- great bikes.... Horrible company.
For instance, in a trade mag recently I read a letter from an LBS owner. He was a Trek and Specialized dealer in the Tucson area. Apparently Specialized decided to open a concept store 100 feet from his store! And they didn't even have the respect to tell him. He said that they sent emails to all of the local specialized dealers and magically left him off the list.... NICE!
