    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    I was at the LBS just after they opened and there were 3 people ahead of me waiting.....all appropriately socially distanced, of course.

    All the more reason to be the contrarian!

    The deal is DONE! First a GIANT thank you to all on here who have guided me/tolerated me/laughed at (with) me/etc. through my overthinking of this purchase. Ordered my Turbo Vado in Dove Gray/Black/Liquid Silver, Size L. Will possibly have it by next weekend, if not early into the following...

    Abus: their website shows no dealers in the US....

    It’s crazy. Makes zero sense. I’ve tried multiple days thinking there may have been a glitch but still nothing.

    Help choose a sub-$4000 bike for 30 mile round trip commute in SoCal (Purchased Trek Allant+ 7S!)

    If the Allant was priced like the Vado I might have gone in that direction...but the price gap between the 4.0 and 7S was too big for me. Enjoy your bike- great choice

    Abus: their website shows no dealers in the US....

    ...which clearly isn’t true. I’ve entered my ZIP (06820), my former ZIP (94062) and multiple city names that have been referenced by people here (DC, Seattle, etc) and it keeps coming up blank. Would like to get the most basic Abus that can be keyed to match my soon-to-be Turbo Vado, and that...

    Which frame lock mounts to the Specialized Turbo factory mounts?

    Does the 6500 mount to the Vado easily and without modification?

    Yes. I’m a Large.

    Yes. That would suck but I’d probably file it under ‘it wasn’t meant to be’.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Yes- I heard that as well. I’m going to see him tomorrow am and place directly. If he can’t process for some reason I’ll do the online route as well. When did you get yours? How long from order to arrival?

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Yes. Website shows available but LBS said they don’t show in Specialized inventory.

    Sharp ride but that color is not available on the 4.0 for 2020. Just Carbon (blue as seen above), Crimson (dark red seen above) and Dove Gray (very light nonmetallic Gray).

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Yes- but I think that color is out of stock. I still think I prefer the Dove Gray regardless...but all 3 colors are appealing.

    I think you are stuffing the ballot box.

    Crimson is definitely going to win on here- certainly seems to be the most popular choice of EBR owners. I’m an architect and there is something very crisp and minimalist about the Dove Gray/Black combo that appeals to me. Anyone out here have pics of the Carbon? Not sure if there are any...

    ...but at least I’ve progressed to just discussing Vado. I get points for that!

    100% with you on resale. I’m leaning toward the Dove Gray Vado as i sit here. Maybe add the Cup Saddle and hold off on stem extension until I see what I think. ...and you may THINK I’m overthinking this but I KNOW that I’m overthinking it! ;)

    You have me laughing. At myself, but laughing nonetheless! 😀

    It’s ok, just a little dull. It certainly isn’t offensive in any way.
