I have something similar in one of my bikes. I've come to the conclusion that it's probably the crown steerer unit in the fork (Fox Rhythm 34 in my case). Pretty hard to reproduce the noises on command, but after watching enough youtube videos I finally started to hone in on this.
Local shop told me that they weren't expecting any until December of this year. It's still a "if you can find it online somewhere then buy it" type of environment, unfortunately. If you go to the Specialized website and select your bike model + size there's an option to search nearby stores. For me, the nearest shop with a complete bike was 300+ miles away, which is a hard NOPE with these gas prices.
What in the binary specialized logo is going on here?
I ordered mine from the Specialized website to my LBS and it took about a week to get delivered and built. A lot faster than I was expecting!
Two artists teamed up to make some limited edition frames. There aren't a ton of photos available of them, and I suspect that a lot of the subtleties don't come through in photos. Mine looks much better in person, and I suspect the Earth and Fire versions look pretty rad in person, too. I'll share more photos once it's all put together.

I opened up the front end to have a look and grit had made its way into the headset. Headset didn't seem to have any seals built in. Also noticed the top compression split ring was separate from the top cap and wasn't that good. You could tell it was made to a price level.
The problem is the offer and demand. I was able to find my frame at the original price under 1k. All is due by COVID.
So would this not just be a standard ZS44/ZS56 headset? You can get a complete headset Cane Creek 40 Part number: BAA0533K ($79) or Cane Creek 70 Part Number BAA1186K ($117). I personally think that the 70 is worth the extra money same cups, but better bearings & seal. That being said I have a 40 on my full suspension and have not had any problems with it.
im getting a 110 for sh1ts and giggles, perhaps should just have went for a 70...
