Price Paid:

at LBS Model Year:
2007 Favorite Ride:
Central PA rollers. Bike Setup:
105 shifters, Ultegra back and 105 front Deraileurs, FSA crank (super cheap trash), Tektro brakes (garbage). Summary:
This is one comfy ride. To comfy. Was crisp enough until you got on rough road surfaces. Then it felt like rubber, real springy and weird. The BB sounded like a wet sneaker. The shop I boght it from was clueless and had no fix, they are more of a ski shop. Selling bikes carries them from winter to winter.
For the money this is an OK bike. Just OK. I felt I could have done better for the same money shopping around and buying used. Strengths:
Geometry. Very up right position. Easy transition from the hoods to the drops.
I loved the factory seat! Weaknesses:
Frame was way to flexy for me. The BB sounded like a wet sneaker.
Cheap components (Crank, brakes ...to keep the price down).
I will never buy another Specialized bike. Ever! The make a mean seat bag ... that's all they are good for. Similar Products Used:
Low end Jamis

at LBS Summary:
I bought the 2010 Roubaix Elite a couple months ago and absolutely love it. This is my first road bike (MTBer for years) so the relaxed geometry and more upright riding position of this bike has been perfect for me. I don't really have anything to compare this bike to since this is the first road bike that I've ever riden/owned. However, I would highly recommend this for anyone that is looking for a comfortable bike for long rides.
