Oregonian picks up “Stumptown” saga
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on February 9th, 2006 at 1:22 am

The “Stumptown” incident is far from over. The Oregonian covers it in their business section today with a front page article by Helen Jung. Helen also writes about it on her blog.
This story has sparked 139 comments so far on this site alone and has spread all over the Internet. Specialized has definitely struck a nerve and 99% of the feedback so far has been vehemently opposed to their decision. This article by the Oregonian will take the bad PR for Specialized to a whole new level. It makes me wonder if their response will stay the same or if they’ll change course and back down before more damage is done.
One thing’s for sure, there will be more developments in this story. Stay tuned.
