    I knew I should have bought a Fuji when I had the chance.

    "Uh, guys? Who had this trademark first?"
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Uh... unless this is an opportunistic hoax, it would appear not.

    I am tempted to say that I won't buy specialized anymore based on this, but that would be difficult since it's specialized bikes that feel like they are made perfect for me

    Specialized is a big sponsor in women's pro cycling. Generally I try to support companies who do that sort of thing. I don't have any of their bikes but I am now less likely to buy any of their other products as a result of this behavior.

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Apple, Lance Armstrong Foundation and Facebook are in the top 10 of Trademark Bullies according to Business Insider

    Are you ready give up your iPhone and/or Facebook?
    Out of all those the only one I use is FB. And no, I won't be giving it up. And no, I won't be buying a Specialized ever either.
