We are not a large shop by any means so it is not like we are getting any preferential treatment either. Specialized is run by good guys who are not afraid to stand behind there product and we appreciate that. We also carry BMC, Serotta, Ridley, Kona, Santa Cruz, Eastern, DK......and stock plenty of there bikes on the floor as well.
That's secondhand information, and I might have heard it here (
), so I'm not going to vouch for the accuracy of that statement.
FWIW, I ride a Specialized bike and a Specialized saddle and love them both. My next road bike probably won't be a Specialized, but that's because the geometry is not ideal, not because the quality is anything less than outstanding. They're in the running for a 'cross bike, if I end up getting one in the next year or so.
