Strengths: stable-handling, comfortable rideWeaknesses: prize ultraquick handlingBottom Line: This is my 3rd road bike; started riding 5 years ago with an Aluminum bike, all DuraAce. The Roubaix has been an upgrade in every facet. I completed the Shiner Ride feeling fresh and ready to go for more. The price is quite high for this but you will be amazed when you ride it. It is not only a bike for me, it is a frind now! I take care of it more than my car!
I actually found and bought it here:

Strengths: Comfort
Super Bike Handeling
Perfect Kermesse bike
the Frameset lasts and lastsWeaknesses: No weakenesses for me but I'll list some that other people can view as weakenesses
headtube is too long
not light compared to other carbon road framesets
not aerodynamic
wheel base is too long
not as stiff compared to other road bikesBottom Line: This bike is da bomb! I'd say it's the best handling bike I have ever owned! After 70 miles of riding on the bike I feel like I can ride 70 more! The frameset is not that light. I'd say it's the best carbon road bike I've ever owned. I'm usually rough when it comes down to rating bikes but this bike is would be an easy 5/5. the weakenesses that other people see on this bike aren't weakenesses for me.

Strengths: Stiff enough to respond to power and yet flexible enough to be a comfy (for a road racer).Weaknesses: None so far - but have only had it for a short time.Bottom Line: This is a 2010 model review. I am a oldie coming back to road racing after years of mountain biking. Got a tester to make sure it was the right bike for me. Great comfortable ride. I use it with a Dura-Ace set-up and compact gears. Stiff frame but the Zertz inlays lend it a little flex and I never felt uncomfortable even during the first days. Geometry raises you up a little higher than on the Tarmac. Took it for a small mountain climb (1.000m) last weekend and it climbed happily all the way. I was amazed at how well I could keep up my speed - frankly few were faster that day - however, with a compact you really need to plan your gear train carefully. Carbon frame feels good and handling was solid both climbing and racing downhill. Wheels are sturdy but seem a little suspect and I am considering having a set of wind cutters in stead.

Strengths: This bike really does offer a superior ride over the Tarmac, and most bikes for that matter. The frame is still very stiff laterally and responsive though.Weaknesses: Skip the stock wheels and house brand components and build it your way.Bottom Line: This is an 09 not 07. Road Bike Review needs to get a clue about that bug in the program! Researched and rode many bikes before purchasing this one. After a lengthy test ride I was hooked. At 48 years old I wasn't looking for a stiff race bike. I wanted speed and stability in an all day comfort bike and this is IT! Just a phenomenal ride! This bike is also a work of art.

Bike Setup: Had this bike built up to my specs with Ksyrium SL's and some other goodies. The stock build was very weak in a couple of places.

Strengths: Smooth shifting, very predictable and stable handling and light weight.Weaknesses: None, so far!Bottom Line: Apparently, I cannot enter the correct year of my new ride- '09 Roubaix Pro. Just purchased it from Ruby Canyon Cycels in Grand Junction (give them a try- they're great folks and now my home shop!) and feel I got a great price for the year and mileage (200 miles) on the bike. It's a stock Roubaix Pro with SRAM Rival gruppo and I aboslutely love this bike. Road a Specialized Sequoia Elite Triple for the past 3 years and am now ready to graduate to a more sophisticated ride in the Roubaix Pro. It's very smooth, great shifting, very stable,predictable yet nimble and one cannot beat the light weight of full carbon.
Favorite Ride: Grand Mesa- Grand Junction, CO
Price Paid:
$2200.00
Purchased At: Ruby Canyon Cycles
Similar Products Used: No comparison to my former Sequoia Elite Triple.
Bike Setup: Stock Roubaix Pro
