I've been really happy with my Torelli - the newer model now has Columbus Life tubing and should be even lighter.

I wasn't crazy about the all carbon fork that came on it (I bought it used), but I've noticed the new ones have been redesigned.

EDIT: Wow, just noticed they have a lugged frame now...

Err, no you didn't. Saying that something can be smooth and comfortable does not imply that the frame is stiff and light.
I don't particularly consider a Roubaix as having those characteristics. And I owned one.

Fuji bought Breezer Bikes. They make some really nice frames. I bought the Venturi road frame earlier this year. It's my daily rider now with an Ultegra group on it.
