I am also seriously thinking about going to get the bike back--unless/until the forks are in and I can see that I am going to be satisfied with the replacement. When I think back to when I asked the guy at the LBS about it, I was told that Specialized wouldn't even send them the fork until he had the bike in the shop, so he advised me to bring in it as soon as possible. So I did, the next day, and then was told that Specialized hasn't told them what they are going to do yet....and I think I covered all of that in my first post. They haven't been able to give me any kind of estimated time of repair, and I don't like the idea of just leaving the bike there. Of course this shop is the only Specialized dealer in the area, so if I have to take it back....I guess I don't know whether I should risk making waves or not. I have never been in a situation quite like this before.

I just keep getting this mental image of some kind of holding pen with all of these bikes gathering dust, looking abandoned.....
