I have a bias towards Specialized bikes. The first nice bike I purchased and still own is a 1984 Specialized Sequoia. It’s so old that it was made in Japan. It’s all original except for the seat, brake levers and of course tires. Last year I purchased a specialized Roubaix Comp. I wasn’t planning on spending so much on a bicycle but it was marked down considerably and happened to be my size. It is remarkable how far the technology has come along over the years.
