Yay!! I am pretty sick and tired of the giant Gorillas of the bike industry pulling stunts like this. It's one of the reasons why I've had my eye on Volagio and was so excited by this bike. Alas, it was not meant to be. Originally Posted by maillotpois

And that definitely was not the first example of Specialized bullying a smaller competitor. They're jerks.
