Yeah ordered a set of the bars straight away for my SL7 should get them next week. Althoyh there is a question in regard to spacers as existing spacers for existing stem will not well transition cleanly into the new stem. However the pro bikes seem to have spacers for the new bar. Shops selling them dont say what you get in the box. Will probably contact Soez

Ok Specialized UK have confirmed SL7 transition spacer am will not be available until August/September part No: S232500001 HDS SUB, ROVAL RAPIDE COCKPIT, HEADSET TRANSITION FOR TARMAC SL7

aaaannnnnddddddd they're gone. I'm sorry this line is for bank customers only. Seriously they sold out of all the racey sizes in like 2 hours. I was contemplating sucking it up and getting a 120x400 vs the 115x380 I wanted and I blinked and that was gone too, lol.

This indicates one thing and one thing only: the price is low. They should raise prices to control demand.

I hope those who get the new rapide are true riders. In China all rapides from the first sale were purchased by those scalpers, who then sell the cockpit at 125% price to the true riders

or maybe it indicated another thing and another thing only: they only had very limited quantities.

No, it just shows that they are producing too little to meet demand. And as the theory goes, you should always produce just one piece less than the demand in order not to lose sales and at the same time not to compromise on the margin...

At the speed they sold out... Price was low. Would they have placed it a quarter higher, would they have not sold out? Don't know. But no one can argue price was high.

There are still 120x400 in uk stores. If that is where you are. Conceptstore

Yet again the cockpit sizes are a joke, why is anyone buying these at any price? lol. Until they come out with 120-140/36 they are fking up.

They are not buying in to that narrow gimmick youtube trend. And they have tons of pro data.

[Jz91]

Still disappointed in seeing the cables popping out from under the stem.

Rose did a much better job in hiding the cables from sight and allowing "easy" accessibility.

Just becuase they have the data doesn't mean they are doing anything with it. Remember the aero is everything era from spesh? Now they don't even have an aero road bike nor a competitive TT bike. This is not a company that is engineering or data first.
