I started riding about a year and half ago after a 20+ year hiatus. I was 279 at my high and now ride in the mid to high 250's. The 2011 Specialzied Roubaix is my regular rider, the main thing I changed was swapping the tires from 23's to 28's. The rest has been good other than an obligatory early fall with the clip in pedals. My friend warned me that would happen, and well -he was right!
I have been trying my hand at mountain biking lately with this Trek, lets just say that is a whole other level and I think I prefer my road bike.
Riding has prob saved my life, I am glad a friend offered this Roubaix to me. Now I buy and fix up bikes to sell/give to family and friends.
