It's still Hilltop. Nothing actually changes in the store except dropping Giant. Everything else is the same. We can stock non Specialized products and bikes, repairs are all the same, etc.

I'm whelmed.
Home mechanics will always be the shop's bread and butter 🤣🤣🤣

What is the benefit of all this?
Indeed. Replaced the brake line on that rear...not sure if it was the issue but I was never going to trust it again so it is what it is.
To HB or Specialized?

HB and its customers.
Nothing will change from a customer point of view. Unless you have a Giant, I might have issues getting proprietary parts from here on out. Also the 2 owners are no longer in the picture so if you had a deal worked out with them for anything, that's gone now. I feel like it'll be super minimal issues. Hopefully our reach for parts and bikes gets better so that would be a good thing for everyone. We're already the biggest Specialized Dealer in the Tri-State so our place in line is pretty good anyway.
Tom is gone?
Yessir.
I don't know if that changes at all, we're already the biggest Specialized Account in the Tri-State so we ave pretty good stock anyway. You may be able to take stock from our Shops now though? IDK, ask John when he stops by how that part works.
I resemble that remark.

LOL Good ones!!
By choice or forced?
I have a dozen AXS derailleurs in stock with no other AXS parts to go with them. I put an order in through the Specialized system, maybe there's some extra buying power to leverage.
