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

I sent the seller a message asking "are you walking it here"? His response was not encouraging so I canceled that sale.Turns out it hadn't really shipped yet. I don't do moving carrots. I ordered a different one, saved $1.50 and had it in 5 days.
I keep seeing those and think about buying one. Do you know how it compares to one of the actual Specialized ones?

Wow, my son's Tesla, a year old daily driver, has been flawless.

nope. But If Its comfortable I'll sit on it. For $20.00, verses $280.00. Ill give it a shot.
don't buy the ec90 carbon seat posts, way too flexy. I had one on the zwifting machine, no bueno.
