I live in Scotland, so even if I could afford such a thing it would always just be orange

Millions of other stuff i would rather spend my money on than anything from Specialneeds bikes.

What made you think of special needs? Do you see nothing offensive to anyone?

Mike Sinyard's behaviour is frequently offensive. This is enough for most people to not want a Specialized bike.

Dang, pretty gauche in this day and age. Sounds an awful lot like a Trump supporter.

Playing the Devil's advocate, Specialized does have a long history of sponsoring the US Junior National team. Kids matter to the sport, nothing wrong with that. I volunteered at youth program that was an intro to road and track racing for mid-late teens, Specialized donated a dozen bikes. My good friend was on the same Jr. Nats team in the late 80's with Lance, Bobby, George. All on Specialized Allez, still has his. So Sinyard is kind of an awkward dude and the people that run his show are litigation happy, especially in the last few years. After all that it's just another business, you can either take it personally, or just speak with your wallet. Speedplay is almost in the same hyper aggressive biz practices camp as Specialized, but I don't like any other pedals so here we are.
