Just went to the bike shop and tried the new roubaix.
Yup. 61 is too big. Need me a 58.
That future shock really is everything your hearing it is. I was shocked how well it can climb!

It sounds like you've answered about 3 of your questions.
The only question remaining is whether there are sufficient funds in the bank account

specialized Roubaix
Not sure if you found a bike yet. Just letting you know that I found a 2011 Roubaix for $500. Not sure which model it is but he paid $2,500 for it new. I do know it has the Shimano 105 gearset. He also has a ladies Roubaix for $500. Not sure what size it is but can find out for you if you would like. He is out of town but will return May 29th if you are interested. I know that the one I am picking up is in excellent shape and was not ridden much. It looks brand new. Thought you might want to know.
Haven't biked in a while. Had a baby and well...I got fat. Time to remedy this
I have been looking at buying a specialized roubaix. I was an off roader, so this would be my first street bike. I like the roubaix for the comfort factor and the warranty.
I can get the base sl4 new for 1700 or if I try the elite and feel the new fancy stem and 105s are worth it, I can drop the $2600.
I was just looking at Craigslist and saw a very nice condition 2014 roubaix sl4 expert in my size. Asking 1700 obo.
Do you folks think it's a good idea to snag the used one if I can talk him down, or just go new?
