The swag van...

heading up to Big Bear for a job, and caught up to the Specialized van! I bet there’s some cool swag gear in there...

 

Don't drink the kool-aid.
It's good....

 

meh.....

 

Beat me too it.

 

They make some great products!

 

Like ebikes..........

 

So does Giant. And Trek. And any number of other players in the game.
E-bikes are here to stay.
Sucks, but that's the way it is...

 

HEY!
This is me living up to my promise to not bag on any bike manufacturer. There are plenty of manufacturers stooping to cash in on no good, dirty rotten, stinking, worthless, cheatin’, good for nothing eBikes.
I have a Phenom saddle on my Yeti (and would buy another). I have a Z Cage on my Hightower.

 

Got some swag in my van....

@Luis

 

I have one of their floor pumps in the garage.....which I got free.

They also make the majority of the water bottles that most co's slap their logos on.

 

"Innovate or die" got to love their motto. And since the 2007 Enduro created the frame that everyone copies to this day tells me they must be doing something correct. And I know how you guys drool when a $9000 Sworks comes along, at least I do.
Happy trails.

 

Hmmm drool only if it's an Epic Sworks with a beautiful lady in lycra. That is a deadly combo.

 

Nope...

Perfectly content avoiding Specialized - great products or not. We've been down this road in too many threads to go there again.

Buy what you like.

 

The is absolute classic @rossage!
Who’s the victim, uh, I mean “ride buddy” in the van?

 

Looks like @Luis, yeah?

 

Luis is no victim.

 

I still roll on the Big S' tires. Dig 'em.

 

I’ve been happy with Specialized products since buying my first S-Works back in 2005 and I’m just as happy with my 2018.

Every manufacturer has thier “fan-boys”. Ford vs Chevy, Glock vs 1911, blondes vs brunettes....

 

Has more to do with their business ethics and how they deal with the LBS’s.

 

Not exactly - its' not a product preference thing - it's a company's business practices thing.

I just prefer buying mountain bikes from mt. bikers.

 

Gotcha!

 

I like this one better

 

The best swag van though I am a little biased.

 

Pfffffft.......fan boy.

 

I see it as weak. Parked in the half shade.

 

Sorry. This is a man's route. There is no full shade in Simi Valley.

 

Ha!

BTW, I hope my “fan-boy” comment wasn’t taken as a criticism. I meant no offense.

 

Want

 

Oh it is definitely @Luis . Just stringing this out, ha ha!

No worries! Remember, these are mountainbikers all aspiring to become Hooligans!
You’re good!

 

Thats why I like everyone here so much
