I have one of the new stuff incoming this month among other "new stuff". A new frame would do it all justice.

I don’t own anything with enough tire clearance to warrant a 32t 1x crankset.

Quote:
From the Vittoria (tires, SpA, etc) website: "Since 1953 Vittoria Industries Ltd. has built highly reputable partnerships within in the cycling industry and created a unique brand image." From Wikipedia: "Vittoria S.p.A. is an Italian bicycle tire manufacturer established in 1953. The company has more than 1000 employees around the world, produces 5 million road and mountain bike tires." From any other online source: "Vittoria...." In their 60-year anniversary packets, only one name was mentioned: Vittoria. The suffix may have changed with expansion into mtb (GEAX), the factory move to Thailand (Lion Tyres), and production explosion, but afaik the brand name/prefix was always called "Vittoria" and I recall seeing Vittoria branded tires before 1976 (Vittoria shoes). |

My most comfortable bikes were a traditional 59cm Colnago and the large yeti. Both were/are set up with a 130mm stem. Ideally, the yeti would have a bit more reach and drop (140mm -17) for road riding but it feels right in more technical riding.
I’m thinking this would need to be a bit longer/slacker but that’s outside of what I’m used to. |

Consistent with what Mark said, the ROUBAIX mark (Reg. No. 1686272) was registered in 1992 and is owned by Specialized. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfi...4802:lj3xg.4.7. Where the mark is used without Specialized’s consent in connection with bicycles or bicycle accessories, it could be infringing if the use is likely to cause consumer confusion as to source or origin or endorsement. Moreover, the ROUBAIX mark, at least with respect to bicycles, has developed what’s called secondary meaning. In other words, consumers have started to identify the mark with a specific product — a particular Specialized bicycle. However, I probably still could use the term “Roubaix” for other purposes — for instance, as the name of a restaurant in upstate NY that serves French food (note that the mark would not be used to identify geographic location of the restaurant, and merely would be suggestive of something being from or related to Roubaix). Notably, “Roubaix” is, or has been, used in marks for a number of other goods, including beer, textiles, hair coloring, etc. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfi...h=Submit+Query
This is all very simplistic, as this is not the place for a discussion of the nuances of trademark law, but you might want to learn something about what you’re talking about before you get snippy and start arguing with someone who does. Last edited by djg21; 07-06-2020 at 08:15 PM. |

"Specialized Bicycle has agreed to pay bankrupt Advanced Sports Enterprises $700,000 for rights to the Roubaix bicycle trademark in the U.S." In other words, the trademark in question here pertains only to bicycles. A quick google search shows that the Daytona brand is currently being used for motorcycle helmets, motorcycle components, beer and alcohol, a luxury hotel, and a hydraulic floor jack. As none of these are directly related to auto racing, I think it is unlikely that any of them have any relationship to NASCAR. |

Wait, this can't be right. According to the Campagnolo web page, Chorus 12 speed cranks have 123mm/96mm BCD, while Record & Super Record 12 speed cranks have 145mm/112mm BCD. This is why the smallest chainring for Record & Super Record 12spd is 34 teeth, whereas Chorus 12spd has a 32 tooth chainring

I don't disagree that "EPIC" is different. Which is why I mentioned S fights over this one. I own a couple trademarks. It's wild how specific it can be.
