Specialized Creo 2 owners

Correction on the same, the tire size was reduced, other than that the same.

 

[Mr. Max]

All of a sudden, the Creo 2 is pretty much out of stock! I wonder if Specialized is coming out with a new (and undoubtedly more expensive) version.

They're currently out of stock online, but my local bike shop just got a shipment in. That's how I got mine. Bike shops often place orders way in advance. It's spring time, which is bike buying season, so bike shops are stocking up. I prefer to buy at my local bike shop whenever I can instead of online. I want to support small town bike shops. I'm not sure where you live, but chances are good you can find one in a bike shop. I live in New England. Before I got my Creo 2, because they were out of stock online, I did a search of bike shops within driving distance. They were available in multiple locations.

I found one! I bought one! I drove to a dealer 90 miles away to get it. (Central California.) My LBS recommended this shop and now I'm happy to be able to support two small independent shops, both of which are quite knowledgeable in Specialized bikes and e-bikes. I got the Comp in blue. Not quite blue, not quite teal, maybe more cyan. They actually call it "Metallic Deep Lake" which sounds better than blue and is easier to pronounce than cyan. I do like the sparkly metallic. The other color the Comp comes in is "Cypress Metallic" which looks like army green to me. This will be my first e-bike, my first carbon fiber bike, my first bike with wireless shifters, my first bike with a dropper seat-post. New Bike Day is a bit of a let down 'cause it's raining, so no pictures yet, but I'm pretty excited!

Bummer about the rain, but a big Yay! about the rest. My Vado SL was a huge advance over all previous bikes, and you've gone that much farther. We expect a full report — and lots of ride photos.

Santa Barbara, right? Lots of gorgeous but very steep topography away from the water there. Do you know Oprah?

I'll start out with the gorgeous but not-as-steep topography closer to the water and then make my way up to some of the steeper roads in the mountains. If I see Oprah on one of the bike-paths, I'll say hi for you.

Teddys By The Sea in Carp is a great spot to stop for lunch. You can park your bike right next to your table if it’s not too busy on the patio.

Looking forward to a few days in Carpinteria later this year. Thanks for the tip!
