Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Specialized seems to only sell their equipment at full price and no online place has any sales on their equipment. I want to get their new S-Works Road shoes but they cost $400! Has anyone seen any sales?

It's going to be tough since the new model just came out. On top of that Specialized has some tricky rules which don't allow dealers to sell certain items online at certain prices. If you don't have them, the older model can be had at some pretty serious discounts now. I picked up a pair from Art's Cyclery for $210 shipped with second day air a couple of months ago, although it appears their prices have gone up a bit since then.

thanks!
i didn't know about that rule but it makes sense since i can't find their stuff sold on most online stores and when it is, it's not discounted

I've tried many shoes over the years and have been a Sidi fan a long time - maybe last five pairs are Sidi. But I tried on the Specialized and bought them on the spot. Definitely the best show out there, at least for me. The only unique thing about them for anyone thinkiing about buying them is they are wider than most

I find them at great prices, usually 50% off at my lbs when they gear up for ski season. Not the entire inventory though, have to catch them at the right time.

I was kidding, but seriously you won't find the current model on sale till they release another model. If I were to guess 2 years.

Wait until Specialized has them on closeout at the end of the year or when a new model comes out. I've gotten about 5 pairs of shoes directly from Specialized for a good price this way. You have to wait and watch for the sale however... instant gratification does not apply.

Current model usually = MSRP

Called them and they cannot ship them, so you have to be in Toronto to buy those.
