Specialized holding out..

Shaun Bell said:

Ordered a SWorks enduro last year and thought it should be coming some time
soon. Well, turns out Specialized allocated a whole two for Canada but have
decided they can't even send those. You would think they could make a few
more lol! Oh well, got a Sworks Tarmac SL Scram. They got lots of those,
who road bikes anymore : )

The standard S-works Enduro? or the S-Works Enduro SL. I know that the
SL is limited ... they are flying them in as they come off the line,
but the S-Works Enduro ... they have a boat load of them in the Utah
warehouse. What's the deal?

Those would be the ones routed to your neck of the woods.

Hey ... I here the Jesup's are always looking for a good LE/Fire/
dispatch .... I could put in a good word for yah. Maybe we can find
you a shack up by Co-hab canyon. Then again I think Fredonia is more
your style.

Sometimes I actually miss the strip.

Man, I retired from that 911 [censored]. Looking at most people who have
been in that career for 20 years or more helped me realize that saving
a little grey matter for my latter years. The bunout is incredible,
even though I live a much healthier lifestyle than most Dispatchers.

Co-hab Canyon...hahaha. Fredonia would be a little more bearable due
to its proximity to the Kaibab Plateau though.

It's the SL carbon. Turns out I'll be getting a show bike but it's fork is
non functional. Should get the bike maybe next week. Who knows how long it
will take to get the fork though.

Yup, those are the wheels. Kind of like track hubs gone all wrong lol.
Very stiff wheels and supposed to be as aero as a trispoke. Still, they do
look a little funny but the bike as a whole is pretty sweet.

Out of the "blem/demo" pile eh. You must ride a lrg. The fork and
shocks are all done in house. The way it is supposed to work is: You
send yours back ... they send you a rebuilt unit ...and rebuild the
unit that you sent back for the next character. The thought is/was
that it will cut down on turn around time. Only 2 problems I can see.
One, the typical trans boarder lag. Two, if yours did come out of the
blem/demo bike pile the wararanty is worthless, unless the rep is
seriously on your side. I suggest you buy him a beer or ten the next
time he's by.

Beer is a tool.

Turns out it's never been out and about. The fork was non functional, just
a mock up. Better be perfect for the price lol! If it's anything like the
Sworks Tarmac I just picked up it should rock. Never buying another over
priced Italian bike again : )
