I don't mind defending IP...but when you're going after a little shop in Canada that uses the word Roubaix for wheels...a word that pre-dates Specialized...that's a bit overly aggressive to me. Complaints that are really nothing more than bullying nuisance attacks seem de rigueur for some companies.
