It is when it's the brand name. And it's not how you spell "disc".MichaelB wrote:I'd pick the Wilier, as that's not how you spell 'specialised'.

But in the case of vehicles of all types - Disc is the correct way. .........For which I apologise. or is it apologize
As far as American spelling goes. Does a specialist specialize?
Back to the bikes.
The Wilier is 40% off which brings it way under the Roubaix RRP.
I took the Wilier for a test ride yesterday. The Melbourne wind was blowing it around a bit. Other than the wind it was smooth as silk.

Personally I can not see a reason why you should buy an Ulterga equipped Specialized when the Wilier with DuraAce is cheaper. Assuming the Wilier is available in your size.Ivanerrol wrote:The Wilier is 40% off which brings it way under the Roubaix RRP.

I'll let you know after I've bought it.Newcastle Dave wrote:I just want to know where I can get a Willier at 40% off ?
There's a couple of specials left - but in odd sizes.
That probably be why it's 40% off.nickobec wrote: Assuming the Wilier is available in your size.

Yep, that would be my thinking tooMububban wrote:Yeah I vote for the Willier too. Dura-Ace for the price of Ultegra and what is reportedly a very good bike - why not?!?

Not subjective at all.... Like break/brake and metre/meter (which the Americans have completely failed to grasp), they're different words with quite distinct definitions.Ivanerrol wrote:disc or disk is also subjective - especially coming from an I.T. perspective.
