I know Specialized will be bringing in their bikes now but what a total disaster. No one knows when or what will be availible or if they will be dealers. Specialized head office say they are aware of the problems yet they do nothing. (Bit like RIM/Blackberry when it comes to communication)

Whenever I look for a new bike Specialized has a problem with stock

Agreed, but be advised that you don't choose a Specialized bike as your new ride, the Specialized bike will choose you as the new rider...if you qualify! ;)

I just compared the local Spez prices with foreign prices and I was surprised. I recently bought a S-Works SL4 frame locally for about R10K less than the advertised UK price of R31K. Then again, the Previal helmet which retail here for around R2.5K is sold in UK for R1.7K.

Why have you seemingly so radically reduced the number of dealers that you have or are the just not listed yet? Only one in the whole of the greater durban area is not good.

Hi SB-SA: what's the story with specialized downhill bikes? Is there still a silly embargo on those?

I just looked at your map a little closer. So you've got 6 stores in JHB, 5 in CT and 1 in Durban. Are you trying to make it hard to buy your products?
