this guy looks like "some dad" on his weekend with his closet queer buddies, shaved legs with a perv smile, seriously specialized, i know he's exactly the kinda guy who can afford your bikes, but don't put his soggy ass in an ad - put a young dude sweating blood on a climb in the sleet and rain, not this hunk of doe coasting downhill at 13mph.
@gavranarh Seriously? You talk about "Closet Queer Buddies", shaved male legs, soggy old man ass and then complain that there is no young sweaty dude? Have you told your parents you're gay yet?
@gavranarh LOL...completely agree..what's that grin smile ?? And at 38 I don't consider myself young anymore but holy cow I can honestly say I'm in a much better shape than many 20 years old kid out there,let alone this fatso daddy that bought a Roubaix Sworks just to show it off at Starbucks after his very challenging 10 miles flat sunday ride.
I think there's two reasons they've done this...1). no one in this commercial is ever gonna get done for drugs! 2). They're trying to show its an everyman bike, and judging by the amount of roubaixs out there it is!
Hell, I liked the commercial. I don't ride road bikes, don't trust suburban drivers much thus I'm more a mountain biker but this made me think about road riding some. Now to convince myself to rock the spandex..
0:58 aerodynamic flutter on the back of the shirt. Also, agree with grifknows, could have been a better shot video. ie, lighting. Recommend shooting on slightly hazy day with a steadycam, and reflector/light source.
Specialized believes they can resolve the issue i am having with the recall notice to my satisfaction. More trouble than I expected but I am glad to hear that a solution is in the works. And they are now telling me that the repair will actually be at no cost to me, just as their notice indicated !!!
Awesome bike, but I would've put some cubblestones in the commercial.. I mean that's what it is made for

@gavranarh at least shoot it on cobbles for an ad, even though hardly 1% of roubaix buyer dont use it on cobbles.....

Even though I love my 2010 Roubaix this commercial almost put me to sleep. Show us some gravel roads!!

@gurney85 It took me a little while to swallow my pride and get the lycra. I don't regret it.
