YUP Specialized and Toyotas, the big boys go too fast sometimes. But there have been times I would take a Splzd home if the price were right.

Yeah, a voluntary recall with ZERO injuries or incidents. Horrible company.

Wonder how many other companies dodge recalls??? Plus remember, there are only a handful of frame makers and these bikes badged by Specialized are also badged on another brand, maybe the one you own! So be careful throwing stones too soon! And no, I don't own a Specialized.

+1

I don't ride a Specialized and my store doesn't sell Specialized but people might want to recalibrate their Do-Not-Buy-Because-It's-Garbage sensors if 1300 out of a trillion billion bikes could potentially fail (but haven't). It's a quantum leap to infer that because a few frames have come back from internal testing with less than ideal fatigue results that the entire brand bites.
