My "big bad company squishing small innovative bike producer" vibe is starting to recede a little.
Yeah...I am not at all a fan of Specialized, not for this particular incident, but for many the have preceeded this.

Bottom line, I don't think I want to ride a frame designed by people that are so stupid to think that they could pull that off. If you work for someone and you wake up at 3am with a brilliant idea and try to turn that into profit for you personally and your employer finds out you are in serious trouble. 100% of the time.
