I know Specialized never bring all of their bikes to the UK and we miss out on lots of funky paint jobs and stuff.
This particular bike has caught my eye but it's not on the UK website. However, it's a new model so I'm not sure if it's just not out 'yet' or if it's never coming. I used to know people who I can ask to check the B2B but I don't have any contacts these days.
It's this new Status 140 in pink. Sorry, 'Desert Rose'. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/status-2-140/p/221251?color=363309-221251
The Mrs has expressed an interest in riding again now that Junior will be pedalling soon so I've had one eye on some bikes. We both really like this one. I'd happily ride it but I'm already equipped with a rowdy mullet. She used to prefer uplifts and Alpine trips to pedalling so she probably doesn't want anything too trail or XC biased but the new Status 170 is probably a step too far.
Can anyone tell me if I'll be able to buy one in this country?
Or should I buy a cheap used one and some rattle cans?
Can't help with the availability in UK but daughter bought this in NZ last year. Colour is amazing

There it is in black and white. Missed that while I was Googling.
Classifieds and rattle cans it is then.
