25 CREO SL COMP CARBON UL

[PedalUma]

We mostly sell aluminum bikes in our market, but will sell as pre-order carbon, yet if those not fully satisfied on a first test, we will refund. These are not stock bikes. One came inbox to build today as a special order. It is a 2025 Creo Super Light Carbon UL. It is taking hours to build and will be ready in the morning. Since it is a 58cm I will be the one to test it and bed the brakes. I will tell more soon. The color is copper green metallic black liquid metal.

A Creo 1 or 2?

@Stefan Mikes , just poking around I’m only seeing Creo 2s on Specialized’s web site. Not sure if PedalUma’s bike is one of the ones listed though as he mentioned special order. Three of the four models are carbon frames (excluding only the Comp E5 model, which is aluminum.

Boy, what a nicely designed bike. Specialized isn’t shy about their prices though, are they?

He's mentioning a 2025 model I am not aware of

Carbon bikes have never been inexpensive Yes, you pay a premium on Specialized bikes but also get a solid warranty for your money.

Besides, Creo 2 Comp is the least expensive Creo 2 in the model range. I'm sure you also eyed the Expert or S-Works, which are excessively expensive!

Super important point, Stefan. Also, you get an established company and a bunch of bike stores behind it. I get it, believe me. After watching Juiced collapse less than a year after I bought my bike from them, that point is acutely relevant.
