Popped up on my Instagram

how do i upload pictures

rode a 2018 diverge today with the bouncy stem. can’t say i noticed ny benefit.

in a pearl white with red flashes very marlboro mclaren…

Does anyone know if Spesh will be bringing out a command post with a longer drop?

Getting a bit impatient to see the Red Hook paint job for the Allez Elite!

If it’s like the above they can have my money, not so sure about the Tarmac equivalent…

I hope so, but that was a special edition and they haven’t put any images up on the website confirming that is the 2018 paint job, and there was more than one ‘Red Hook’ edition, albeit that one ^ has the most pictures online.

Would have considered the grey with pink combo as well but I already have one pink bike so should really diversify the various offensive paintjobs in my garage 8)

Pictorial evidence required immediately.

Edit: Found it. The frame looks the same as this year but I’ll have a proper look when I’m not on my phone. I was hoping for a threaded BB at least.

Non of the S Works riders bikes had anything longer than the standard dropers at the EWS this weekend. The coil Stumpy was on the stand but the rest of it looked the same

So I got impatient/bored and emailed Specialized UK to see when they would update the images of the ‘Red Hook’ Allez 2018.

They said it would be today, but it wouldn’t be quite as fancy as the pictures above, as obviously these paint jobs add a premium to the price.

But then they update the web page with this image today

They must have tracked my IP address and are just taking bets on how often I check the page to see when it updates, but I’m not falling for a picture of last year’s model SBC! 😀

Carbon levo, with a new motor… any idea if it will fit the older ones?

I’m into it!

what is going on with that seatpost head on the black enduro?

That seatpost looks like in inline spesh command post, thats new, wonder if they will have more drop as well.

But while they have done the right thing increasing the reach of the enduro, they still haven’t sorted out the BB height and standover IMO.

Read on the MTBR thread that it has adjustable geometry by adding something to the shock.

didnt specialized patent a dropped that the seat angle adjusted as the post dropped? The clamp is definitely different to current command post.
