GoLefty!!

There is not much that a fancy shape tube can do that a round tube can't. For interest, use it don't use it. MXS-R or Slick 360/540 or Corvus racer 540 vs Edge 540. The former are all composite aerobatic aircraft. The Zivko Aviation Edge 540 is a steel space frame fuselage with composite wings. The Edge 540 has dominated the RedBull Airrace since inception and remains the aircraft of choice for the return of RBAR in 2014.

good to hear that bullies can be taught a lesson. shuffles off to custom wheel builder in Somerset west

problem is sorted. It was only limited to few brake sets but because brakes are kind of important to most riders, SRAM recalled the lot. its the responsible thing to do. Those brake sets that get returned will probably be rebuilt and given to sponsored riders. The kind of problem encountered could happen to any manufacturer

Nothing like getting new parts for free though

JRA ?

almost as bad as fake sign language interpreter

Its like they can't learn. Also shows that Sinyard's gesture was a hollow one and only brought about because they forced to by the public and ASI.

Maybe but doubt its a long term effect. What the fall out is in the USA will determine how much this hurts them

Cafe Roubaix vs Specialised Roubaix.... yes I can see the confusion

he's clearly talking tripe

I think you need to unpack your suitcase a little. Its clearly heavy

it seems the difference between the terms "controlling share" and "ownership" is lost on the fanboys...

are you illiterate? have you read the articles posted in links within this thread?? Special had no right to register the trademark in Canada either. Fuji had no idea they had done this till this saga broke. Fuji have stated in the article linked to in this thread that they will be having a word with the "special people" about that "registration". It is clearly stated by ASI's CEO that under the terms of the license agreement the registration of the "Roubaix" trademark in Canada is inbreach of the terms and conditions of use of the license. Once again same old tactics from "those" people whose insignia looks like half an SS symbol.

try to keep up. they don't own the Trademark. They license it from ASI who owns Fuji bikes. They don't have right to go around bullying others over something that does not belong to them

not for the Specialised fanboys. Its never over

A South African Lady colleague in the Hague would not be caught dead on a bicycle so she bought a LAnd Rover DIscovery. She could nopt understand why; - the vehicle licensing department gave her a hard time - the tyres on her car were flat every morning - she had no friends She left Holland complaining about how rude the Dutch are. Problem was her..Souf Effrikeeness. She also got the shock of her life when she moved into a furnished apartment that came with a Dutch maid. not sure if she expecting th landlord to import her a domestic maintenance implementer from Africa or hat went through her mind. She simply didn;t fit in

the issue is every other brand looks at the bigger picture and decides if there is an issue before pulling the trigger. ASI seems to have been quietly licensing the Roubaix name at minimal cost and in their intent is likely to control how far the name expands within in the cycling community. Specialised seem to want to go looking for people to hurt which tells me their legal department is either bored or incompetent - winning the legal case against Volagi but being awarded $1-00 in damages is the judge telling you that you're a knob and you wasted the courts time. What is encouraging is that the majority of reasonable people out there side with the little guy while the brands whores look for every excuse to justify that their beloved brand is right. What rubs salt into the specialised wound is that they don;t even have the right to defend the "Roubaix" brand which is just laughable. Not only a bully, but a dumb one at that. Oh if anyone wants to some specialised gloves, helmet, shoes, a bicyle computer you can find the items in a dumpster behind Builders Warehouse in Tokai. I gave everything to a homeless guy. the helmet may have some **** in because he sat on it shortly after I handed it over. It does look like a P**S pot though. Just ask for Jantjie

Looks like Specialized picked a bigger fight than they thought

They already received a nasty letter to that effect and told that race organiser to fob off.

they do see $$$$

U'd think that the government would see the economic benefit of making SA cycle friendly. There's already a heavy demand for fossil fuels to the extent that we import the shortfall. The demand is so skewed due to the love of groot trokke vir die rokke that theres little left to make bitumen to build roads, so SANRAL imports that too...! Lower the demand for fossil fuels and you start to limit the exposure to importing fossil fuels. Use the available energy wisely and we can smelt iron ores and make higher grade steels and build an aluminium smelter. 1 Million people on bikes is not an impossible dream and thats 1 million cars only being used on the weekends

saw my old house in tat clip

In 2007 PPA looked into a campaign called "Fragile". It never got off the ground because the cycling community just wasn't ready to acknowledge that each member is Fragile. I can see that the day is fast approaching that that campaign will gain legs again. Nothing makes the fragility of life more clear than constant reinforcement of that message. I for one think wearing a "fragile" sign on my cycling shirt is a strong appeal for motorists to behave like responsible members of the human race

beautiful should be aired on national tv especially as we are heading into the holiday season
