    Looking into buying a Spcialized bike, they seem fairly priced, and im coming off a ROADMASTER (SICK
    OF [censored]) so what do they have that is cheap, dual suspension, and not [censored].

    Cheap, dual suspension that's not [censored]?? That's a non-sequiteur. Good dual suspension bikes are not
    cheap. Count on $1000 minimum. Specialized make pretty fair bikes, for what it's worth. What's your
    definition of cheap?

    Cheers,

    They have been in business for a long time and make a wide range of bikes. I've got a couple
    of thier bikes, one road one mtb, and I am happy with both of them. I would not hesitate
    buying another.

    For the money, Enduros and BigHits could fairly be described as cheap, dual suspension and not [censored],
    whereas Epics aren't such great value.

    No, Specialized are good bikes generally, in the upper range of quality. You'll be quite happy
    with one I suspect. Price-wise though, you'll have to spend some bucks to get one. We used to sell
    Specialized and I came very close to buying an M2 hardtail..I rode a few of them and I really
    liked the bike. It suited my style and fit. Try a few and make sure you get the right size and you
    won't be disappointed. Keep in mind though, if you do 6' drops and you're clumsy, any bike will
    explode!! ;-)

    Cheers,

    Scott..
