One further point is the integrity of Specialized dealer network. There is a symbiotic relationship between the dealer and the manufacturer and if I was a dealer and Mikes/Pons were able to blow out 400 bikes while no longer meeting the obligations of being such that would be considered a breach of our agreement at least in principle. Funny how Mikes is getting a pass as they were the ones which screwed their customers as well as undermining the LBS model of selling bikes. I for one do not like the factory store model from any manufacturer but especially the ones who do not openly say this is a company owned store.
