Crazy Specialized Concept Stuff from Eurobike, Plus a Rumor

I love the Specialized guy flipping off the UCI ‘cuz nothing says “sticking it to the man” like Specialized

Those two are good, but the unicorn puking a rainbow is taking the cake for me.

There was a guy in MASS that built a concept motorized downhill bike, or ultra-light dirt bike,depending on how you look at it, a couple years ago.
Search the Bustedspoke.com forums.

like alloycowboy said, too much industrial design, not enough engineering.

To AlloyCowboy and greg,
Specialized most certainly tests there frames. Ive seen it in person at Specialized HQ in Morgan Hill CA. In the two years I worked at a Specialized shop I sent 3 frames back. I now work at a Trek shop and send back 1 or 2 frames back a WEEK! Not enough engineering, I say BS! I love it when people talk crap on any company and dont know anything about them.

@ Waterdog1er. To tell you the truth, without being misunderstood, comments like yours make people talk crap on companies that they are not familiar with. You see, you happen to know about both companies, still your 1st comment is not flattering for Trek & I can only assume that there are a lot riders or mechanics sharing the same thoughts as you do.

The best products are always a combination of good Industrial Design and good Engineering… I was drinking at Bell’s Brewery yesterday and some drunk dude was going on about how Bell’s had sold out… but yet there he sat… he was even bitching that the bathroom was too nice now… Growth means money, size, etc. but it also means more money for special projects, more money for research & development etc. The 800lb gorilla may not be the fan favorite since America loves the underdog but they certainly help move the species forward… I don’t know if all that was relevant to the discussion but wtf, I just woke up…

you say too much Bell’s like that is a bad thing…. if you like michigan beer add Brewery Vivant to the list… tasty.

@Shop Cat: No, they collaborated on the McLaren Venge frame/bike, there is no lawsuit to my knowledge.

Showin some love to the TWIN SIX Boyz too. Good to see. 🙂
