Adieu Specialized?

Does Specialized Bicycle Components still make things like helmets,
shoes, tires and Other Bicycling Products?

I never see them in the stores or mail order catalogues anymore. Ahd
their helmets were the only ones that really fit my long-and-skinny
noggin.

Yes. You can find them at any shop that sells Specialized bicycles.

I never see them in the stores or mail order catalogues anymore.

Specialized no longer deals with mail order catalogs. They prefer to work
directly with bike shops.

One shop I was in recently had no helmet brands other than theirs. I was
disappointed, since their helmets do not fit me at all (big and round
head, like Charlie Brown). I'm sure I*saw their brand on shoes, too, but
did not see any tires. I was in the shop, which I usually don't go to,
since 1) they had a pre-season sale on, and 2) I had a $50 gift
certificate from that shop. Sadly, I could not find anything I needed.

Yes; you can buy them directly from their web site, and probably from a
Specialized dealer.

This ought to please the owner of the LBS that gets my business; I
once asked him why he doesn't deal in Specialized stuff, and he said
that they were screwing local shops by selling mail order cheaper.
