For now, at least. Evans Cycles also seem to ship Specialized here now, quite possibly due to the absence of a distributor.

theres a specialized store meant to opening out near city west at some stage in the Brownes barn building

I have a 2014 awol in 54cm. I don't think there have been many changes in the intervening years.
I bought from cycleways and was told i was the first to order one in Ireland and when i called in over the following couple of years they mentioned they did not sell a lot.

Very happy with it and no major problems with big mileage on it. In fact i currently have two broken rear spoke and while out of true still holding up while i source a new set of heavy duty touring wheels. Very heavy though.

I have kept a look out for a decent second hand awol on adverts, eBay etc for another project but no luck.

Also worth noting that McConveys in Belfast are specialized dealers and although it is not on their site they may be able to arrange something. Highly recommended shop who have sorted me ou in the past

would you be willing to meet for a coffee and chat and perhaps allow me take a look at how awol in 54cm feels?
I work in town (Dublin 2) and am happy to take a bus to any place around town. It would be nearer than Belfast and less hassle than ordering one from cycleways and not knowing if 54 or 56 is what i need. But again, if you are busy or not feeling comfortably enough than that's also fine. Cheers for the feedback - i like this bike i think but it may change once i touch one.

I've been to cycleways in last couple of months and seen a cracked awol frame. they said that it is not being replaced as awol has been discontinued. Shame if true. seems like lovely machines.

Specialized dealer is based in Port Arlington until the store opens in the new year.
