If you're looking for a cycle to work scheme and are restirced to Halfords, I know that people around here have got them to order in other bikes (I can't think remember the makes, but I do remember that it was really good stuff that you wouldn't expect to ever associated with Halfords). I imagine they could get Specialized stuff in easily.
Ahem, if it were me, I still wouldn't let them anywhere near it with a spanner though... ;)
We're restricted to Halfords too, but I gave the cycle to work scheme guys a ring, and handed them my HR departments details so that they could attempt to widen the sources of the bike shops (and support LBS etcetcetc). Really nice chap who I spoke to who genuinely seemed keen to try to get companies to use more smaller shops and not just Halfords.
Haven't chased it up yet, but might be worth a go.
