    Suggested price for a Specialized Como 3.0 650b - Low-Entry? Used only once!

    Thank you, Jim. You paid in USD. I'm in Canada, so $2,500 USD = $3,171.92 CAD, which is $1,000 less than I paid for it. I doubt mine has more than 44 miles on it. Everything in Canada is more expensive than the same thing in the US. Sadly. Add the exchange rate to that and OUCH!

    Suggested price for a Specialized Como 3.0 650b - Low-Entry? Used only once!

    Thank you, Art Deco, for mentioning that Como 3.0's are difficult to get, and also for the link to the BicycleBlueBook. That means that I can start off close to my purchase price and drop it from there. Gale

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0 battery - removal for summer months?

    Because of this summer's severe heat waves here in Vancouver, BC, it's been too hot for me to ride my new e-bike. Should I have removed or should I remove the battery from my e-bike while I am not using it? (I hope to begin using it in the fall.) I searched for an answer online but couldn't...

    Bike Insurance

    In Vancouver, BC, Canada, I recently insured my new 2021 Specialized Como Turbo Low-Step for $288 (total) annually with Pedal Power (Oasis) online, which has a great many options for full coverage. My condo insurance will only cover it when it's parked in the building's storage locker.

    Thank you! Yes, we do get screwed. I realized that I was vulnerable due to severe sleep deprivation when I entered the store to pick up my bike. I had been nervous about it for two weeks. That day. That manager's bad attitude. It was nothing to look forward to. He didn't disappoint. I feel sorry...

    That's misogyny! Men who might become misogynists include: - young and old - those who hate or do not respect their mothers - those who have a long-time grudge against even one woman - those who lack confidence or are socially inept - those who hate people in general - those who are impotent -...

    Exactly! He didn't loosen it enough. He thought he could get away with it. As well, I didn't see any evidence of grease on it - not that I should.

    I currently own a 1986 Miyata 310, which I bought brand new in 1986 have ridden a lot over the past 35 years. The gears shift almost silently. It's been professionally serviced every few years, though. The pedals were not under load at any time during the total of 15 minutes of my first ride on...

    Where do I stand with undelivered goods?

    I suppose my reply is too late, judging from the date of your post, which I just noticed. Anyway... Contact your credit card company NOW if you paid for your purchase via credit card. They can do a "charge back" to the company you purchased your bike from, and your money will be returned to you...

    I just picked up my new Specialized Como 3.0 Low-Step from a bike shop in Vancouver, BC. I was so excited... until I entered the shop. From that time forth, I was treated with disdain and neglect by the manager. I had to request that the seat height be adjusted. The manager scratched an inch of...
