Is that right? I have a bud that got a new Specialized CF bike. He has the seat collar turned. I asked why it was like that but he didn't know. I just thought the assembler was a dork. He looked it up on the Specialized site and said all the bikes had the collar reversed.
I guess that prolly why they did it then?
