Court reviewed the Creo

[Captain Slow]

The Specialized rep referred to the aluminum model that my LBS told me back in August 2019 was coming. It's January now and still no aluminum models, not even anything on the website. When in the world are they coming?

I wonder if the carbon models are selling slowly so they're delaying? It is a lot of money for a bike, but then again lots of road bikes cost more than the Creo and they don't have a motor.

The entire Creo lineup has been selling through like crazy. We have a couple on backorder for folks as they're sold out of all Comp and Expert models. I wouldn't hold my breath on an Alu model, a lower end carbon I could see.

Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

It is only 1.5lbs lighter but it has 250wh battery vs 330wh (80 wh less), no stem suspension, Brose in Specialized is probably a nicer motor with 28mph cutoff instead of 20mph, no dropper seatpost(not necessary but I guess one can remove it to save weight), and almost 2 times the price. Trek has...

You can hold your breath, the aluminum version is out, now.
I have the Creo SL Comp Carbon and it's AMAZING! I haven't had this kind of fun riding with the strong riders in my clubs for almost 40 years!

I might have my aluminum model as soon as this Saturday. I went to my LBS and he said Friday last week they were shipped and he should receive them Friday/Saturday. I asked him how many were coming in and he said he was getting 1 of each size. I quickly put down a deposit as I didn't want to risk someone else buying it before me.

I would be surprised if I rode the bike and didn't like it. But still going through the formality of a test ride.
