    I’ve been looking for a Specialized Roubaix Comp for my wife. As with 90% of bikes, they are hard to come by. There have been a few locally but they have either sold before we could get down to look at it or they were the wrong color. Almost had one last week but again, by the time we got there that afternoon it was gone.

    The Specialized site showed that the closest one in stock in the color that she wanted was at Team Action Sports in Bakersfield. I thought that sounded familiar and jumped on here and I was right. It’s where @Danmtchl works. Shot him a quick PM to see if he could check stock and he fired right back with a yes and a pic of the bike. He pulled it off the floor and put a hold on it and gave my info to his boss to follow up with me.

    The next challenge was figuring out how to get it to Carlsbad. We could ship it, but his boss Sam was heading down here for the Belgian Waffle Ride and offered to bring the bike with him to save on shipping costs. Perfect!

    Thanks Dan for assisting with the acquisition. As we all know, happy wife = happy life!

    Good score, it is often who you know.
    Is this Sam the Sam Ames. After hearing much about him I finally met him at the Rock Cobbler.
    Maybe I met @Danmtchl there as well?
