Same deal here. Can't get a Specialized in France for love nor money, and even supposedly common stuff just isn't available.
I think it's a combo of supply chain difficulties and lack of distributors.
Luckily the Basso Palta has Rival AXS and not GRX, so I'm not riding to the shop across the river and return two bikes home with tram and bus.
SRAM parts are much harder to get, more often than not, we had customer who brought their bike in to swap groupset for 11/12 speed Di2 due to part availability.
