    I’m a big fan of Specialized too. They simply make really good components. I have their shoes, helmets, saddles and previously the SL7 and SL8 which I sold. TBH nothing special about the SL8, but hey we live in an era of consumerism and FOMOism.

      @kailoonteo1719 Před 3 měsíci

      I was a big fan of specialized. I left the brand because of overwhelming marketing and claims. Another observation of specialized is they always backpedal, from removal of venge to SL 7 "one bike to rule them all" then introduced aethos which is back to conventional specialized design and seatpost.
      Their S-works helmets and shoes are good but way over priced. There are other equivalent products at more attractive prices.

      Really? I thought him as one of the least non-hypocritical rider around.
      He has the money to spend, wants to enjoy luxury stuff, and doesn’t care to pretend otherwise it.
      That dude was honestly a breath of fresh air tbh compared to the usual humble brag interviewees; riding a 15k bike but saying that the bike isn’t important because it’s all in the legs.
