I dont understand why he changed from specialized to mongoose or moongose. I just cant make these bikes look pretty in my head. I DONT like them!!

Specialized dropped him, for whatever stupid reason. Kept Hunter and Strait. I'd much rather see Romo on spec than either one of the others. No offense to them.

He even looks like "WTF I don't want this!"
But true they should've kept him. He gets alot of publicity especially with DropIN

The only issue I find with them (not me personally, my buddy has a blackdiamond tripple) is the slightly difficult jump through hoops customer service.

specialize wasted all of their money on marketing and then they lost all of their money so they dropped all of their sponsors... not just romo!

payney, he doesn't ride for hayes, hes on sram which mean avid brakes. TBH i love this bike and i have ridden one and it rides smack bang in the middle of an SX trail and a demo 8 IMO. which means romo can ride exactly how he used to and do it all on one bike, much better for him. however i hate the look of the mongoose ritual he uses for DJ/street. the P2 looked much nicer.
