Did we not have a thread on this? I can't find one.
Short version - specialised was threatening a Canadian bike shop with lawsuit over use of their trademark 'roubaix'. (I'll see if I can find some links and paste them in later)
Anyway, this post was because I just found out that - bizarrely - I appear to have helped break this story in the Canadian press. Yes, there was a local newspaper story, and all the internet guff, but it wasn't until I put a link on Fb and tagged an old (sortofboy)friend who works for Canadian press, did they write a story in it (he couldn't do it himself, but his colleague did). The even crazier thing is that he actually lives and works in Edmonton, in the same province as the guy and the shop. But he tells me that my post was the first he'd heard of it. And he's a sports reporter (and well embedded in the cycling scene there).
