Well this come as a bit of a surprise to be honest but on the other hand not. I have always looked at the S-Works model every year Specialized release their new colours etc right the way back to when I bought my first Creo 1 six years ago. Specialized have dropped the rrp on the S-Works last year when they released two new colours by £1k. The first colour sold out in 56cm within a month or two then the after a good few months wait the Gloss Carbon colour was in stock in the UK. Now retailers that had old stock of the 23/24 Satin Forest Green and 24/25 Red to Purple Pearl Strata were all discounting. I hung on as I was not really after another Creo 2 and was going to wait until I retire and treat myself. Due to medical circumstances I decided to pull it forward and just as Specialized put this model in sale to sell off remining stock before the new 25/26 colours are released. There was a 56cm in stock at Leicester and two in the UK warehouse. I did a deal with Infinity Cycles at Meadowfield and mine was ordered. 9 days later it was delivered to store and built up and ready to rock n role.
