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

It's not just Specialized. Many companies making a host of products try this same thing. Absolutely hate it. Nothing more that f*****g over customers for a buck.
You missed the entire point of Atlas Shrugged 's post.

That is a post almost 3 years old and as I experienced is no where near what is happening in the marketplace. Asking Specialized to honor the warranty of a modification is ridiculous.

I did miss the date of the original post, but who is talking about warranties? Nobody with any common sense would expect to modify a bike and still have it covered under warranty. But then again, America today, common sense is an uncommon virtue.

So what exactly is your complaint against Specialized?

Post #7, first sentence was some misleading statement about warranty!
