Thanks Ben! :cool:

Also, can someone tell me how easy or difficult it would be to temporarily remove both the front and rear femders and racks/support rod? Ihave a Tero X 6.0 on order with my LBS. [I hate the deadly dull black of the bike but did not want to wait until January/February 2025 for the new Gloss Deep...

Me too! :)

Not for the dealers--there is a lot of squeeze and anytime you consider a boutique retail business (costly products, service staff, not a continuous flow of wealthy people/purchases) there is high overhead for staff, space, insurance, advertising, etc. Best dealer margins are on the clothing...

It is interesting to observe just how much price flexibility Specialized has. In that for a given model lineup, all the models (at least of the same material, aluminum or carbon) use exactly the same frame. So the $10,000 Turbo Levo Expert T-Type has the same frame as the Turbo Levo Base...

Yes, $2,749 is a crazy-great price for Vado 4.0. That’s why I have a deposit on one for my wife. Heck, just a replacement 700wH battery for the bike is $1,400 list price. Best part for me is that the low price is allowing me to “get away” with spending $6,500 for a Tero X 6.0 for myself! ;)...

Reporting back with disappointing news: The Spesh rep just got back to my LBS and said that the new Deep Lake Metallic color for Tero X 6.0 is not going to be available until January/February 2025. :rolleyes: Not going to wait that long! Does anyone here know of a company similar to RideWrap...

I can certainly tell there will be inner bar ends in my future... :D Thanks for that info. Yeah, I'll be looking at new flat shoes also--since my expensive Garneau mountain/road shoes are for SPD cleats. (Those Adidas look nice, but as usual, the Spesh shoes are truly ugly. Does nobody at...

Hi Ben: Thanks so much for your messages. Yes, the shock of modern MTB bar width. Here's a pic of my beloved 1987 Wicked Fat Chance (yes, I have been riding this bike for for 37 years; recently restored it a bit more; before that I rode my road race bike on fire roads--42/28 low gear, that's...

In the interest of transparency, the Spesh rep told my dealer that while the Deep Lake Metallic is the forthcoming new color for Tero X 6.0, the decals will be different. So nobody should count on the gold-ish lettering. I'll just be very happy if the color pops the way it does in the pic I...

It's funny because in some pics the Deep Lake Metallic looks greenish, and in others blueish. I like it either way, especially the gloss instead of flat. By the way, I'm 5' 6" (and probably shrinking since I'm 62 years and a really bad back). I'm assuming that a medium won't have me hunched...

Really?! I’ve seen that color in all sorts of magazine reviews on the web. Did they produce only a few—for the reviewer circuit? So odd that they would show and list it on their website if they never made them available. If that really is the case then I feel a bit better. Thought I was just...

The $2,750 sale price is simply too good to pass up--so I just bought my wife a medium Vado 4.0 step-through! She is thrilled. Heck a replacement battery for the bike is almost half the cost of the total bike at this price. For myself, I have on order a medium Tero X 6.0--in the new color...
