Specialized Bicyles?



Anyone have any opinions regarding Specialized bikes? I'm mainly interested the Expedition Sport model. I'm a novice rider...mainly cruise through the neighborhood, state parks, etc.
Is Specialized a better brand than Electra?

Comparing Specialized to Electra is like comparing Ferrari to Honda, they are two companies that work on different types of bikes. Specialized is an excellent company, they supply two of the ProTour teams (Quickstep and Gerolsteiner) with their bikes. That's not taking anything away from Electra, but Specialized knows about performance bikes. If you are mainly interested in cruising, then Electra may be a good choice as they are known for their "Townie" bikes and they are comfort bikes. My advice, go to the bike shops and ask to test ride each bike, you don't buy a car without trying it out, do the same with your bike. Source(s): Bought many bikes
Specialized is one of the best brands of bicycles you can buy. The main bicycle companies are Trek Specialized BMC Time etc.

You may want to test ride before you buy though because two people usually don't like the same bikes.
Electra's are for people who wear flip-flops while riding their bike. Specialized are for more serious riders. Their road bikes are very good. They had some in the recent Le Tour de France.
many good answers here, and yes Specialized is an excellent brand name, for all bikes (commuter, MTB, road, and BMX)
Electra basically makes beach style cruisers

If you are looking for style go for the electra. Specialized though would be a good way to go personaly. Most Electras don't have gears but the specific bike that your are looking at does have a set of gears. This is definanly a good bike to ride around town along with Trek's comfort bike series. If your looking for somthing that could possibly ride the mountians go for the specialized Hardrock. But on the regards of all specialized bikes. Two thumbs up for their great bikes.
