Not at all is that an exaggerated claim. Specialized cutting their dealer network out of sales by selling to non-dealers would be a very serious problem. Plus, you’d have to consider that, if these bikes go up in price before delivery, is Spesh supposed to honor Mile’s pricing to customers or their dealer pricing? It’s a huge, effin’ ****** mess to even consider such a scenario… And if you don’t know, look up the Full Force fiasco. Spesh intro’d a new, low-line brand for box/department/discount stores in the ‘90s and pissed off their dealers royally. Spesh aren’t the fools you think they are.
