Forced, you say? Sounds a bit strong. Am I to understand that a Specialized dealer came to your house, thrust the bike at you, and took your money? Because that's how force works.
I was not forced to buy a bike that has a matte paint job, even though up near the top of my "do not wants" was a matte paint job. I wanted a bike. I didn't want to wait. There was no force.
I won't even lean into the near-10k pricepoint thing.
