Whatever. Titanium is a poseur material. I'm sick of arguing this.
I remember when I was in college, in poverty, passing people who were wearing spandex, had clipless pedals, gloves, $150 sunglasses, and couldn't bike worth shit. I was riding a HUFFY I think.
Nobody is impressed by your slow ass on a $10,000 bike. But I shouldn't complain, if it wasn't for poseurs, I would have never actually bought a nice bike - from one of them, at 1/4 price.
Great bike shop---I'm purchasing a Specialized Tricross Comp
there after test riding a bout 6 other bikes. Very cool salespeople, no pressure, no snobbery. And I don't understand the first comment. If you want to purchase the Roubaix, you probably ARE a serious rider/racer. If not, then it's nobody else's snobby ass business if you want to throw down your own cash on a bike that's still awesome whether you take it to the grocery store or tournament.
Unless you're biking at least 60 miles a day, every day, and doing competitive racing, you're simply throwing away your money to buy a Roubaix.
If you own this bike anyhow, and don't bike at least 60 miles a day, every day. and don't race, you're called a POSEUR. I will be purchasing your bike in 3 years when you realize that it really doesn't impress anybody that you blew a few K on a machine you don't use.

"Friends" on youtube are nothing more than a method to determine a demographic for advertising purposes, just like Nielson ratings are. Same thing Facebook is.
Want to see the demographic for a television show? Watch the commercials. "Friends" here determine a demographic.
But why explain this to and idiot that parks a $3000 bike a Starbucks to try to impress strangers?
Until I was signed by a team I rode an old Trek 820 mountain bike that I converted to a road bike, and it had 86,000 miles on it. I used to hate these people too, and even more people who did actually race with them because I felt like they were trying to buy wins. So you go out, train harder, and kick their butts on race day. What you don't do is go on the internet and anonymously harass them.
Haha wow, Poseurs huh? Are we at the skate park or something? Who cares what bike you ride or how fat or fast you are, it's good for the sport and good for the industry that people are riding.
If I can only run a 3.5 hour marathon I'm not allowed to buy the shoes that the 2:15 guy wears? You're a moron.
I`d rather go for R-series Cervelo.

Fuzzywzhe,
Chill bro. Some people just like nice things - and work hard for them.
That being said, I ride TI, so it's just as smooth but will last 100 years longer.
