Specialized bike got problems

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Specialized bike got problems

I just watch this video on you tube. The host is saying that the Specialized Roubaix got some problems.

It appears that the Specialized Roubaix and their other Carbon bikes are having a tough time holding up under some of their larger Pro Cyclists.

I've seen one with the head broken off of it. Very scary , the guy hit a manhole cover while going down hill at 12-15 mph, and the head snapped right off.

if i'm going to sit and watch movies about specialized bikes on you tube, it's going to be something funny like this:
