That sucks. Good luck finding one.

They may not be sold out, but may have run into difficulities with Shimano on production of the parts that would be on the bike. Or, maybe they're waiting on a batch of frames back from paint.

There are a lot of reasons why they wouldn't have your size/model in stock at the moment, but unless they specifically told your dealer that they are sold out and not making any more for the year, they most likely are just out of stock for the moment.

not too sure what's goin on really. i've heard about the parts shortages goin on. what the guy said specifically was that specialized told them they are sold out for the year and there won't be anymore available.

i actually was told that by another shop as well. didn't believe 'em cause the guy just seemed a bit of an assmunch to me.

still lookin tho !
