I said "bran" loyalty. I hear ya. Go with what fits and what works. Specialized stuff works for an awful lot of people, and I really liked my day in Whistler on a Stumpjumper. Heh, heh … I said “bran” loyalty.

The contest was a lot of fun and I'm sad that not everyone saw it the same way we did. Personally I thought it was a great marketing ploy of Specialized! They saw the power of social media and what a fantastic way to experiment with it... I sat back and watched them closely to see how effective it was for them and watched their followers grow on both Twitter and Facebook. The reason I'm loyal to Specialized is because I ride my 2007 Stumpjumper FSR A LOT and it takes a beating with the terrain we ride here. It hasn't failed me yet and I've ridden many miles on it, including terrain it wasn't designed for. Plus the bike fits, a huge bonus when you're only 5'3" ;) It's hard to find a bike that fits when you're my size... It didn't take a marketing ploy to sell me on this bike, the bike sold itself.

I don't know how they went from your rather innocuous post to that. Pretty big leap. I never got the idea that your bran loyalty wavered. Neither did mine - but I barely have any brand loyalty to begin with! I'll pretty much ride anything that fits and is relatively light, reliable and affordable! Wow.
