Specialized Roubaix 2010 Price? Good deal?
Hey guys! I put a 2010 Specialized Roubaix on hold for today, for pick up on Monday. Before I complete the purchase, I wanted to make sure that I'm getting a good deal. It has full 105 and it looks like it has been taken on a few test drives as the tires look dirty. I'm paying $700.00. Is that a good deal?
Thanks a bunch guys!

Yep! It is an authorized specialized dealer! And my exact words as I was leaving were " and the warranty is the same as any other new bike purchase?" and he said yep!

Sounds like a good deal - which model was it? I wouldn't worry about the tires, but if you think there have been miles on it, I'd check the drivetrain (cogs/chain) and rims for signs of wear.

Yeah, if the tires are worn make sure you check the drivetrain. My last bike had been on a few test rides and the tires had a couple of mikes on them. After I got the bike home the chain kept slippin on longer rides. I had to take it back 2 times to get the issue fixed.

Wow, that's a deal! Look at what a 105 groupset alone would cost. If it fits, move quickly.

If it's any comfort to you, I bought a 2007 roubaix bare frame/fork for $500 (earlier this year) and I thought *that* was a great deal.
Get it and ride it like you stole it.

Sweet! Thanks guys! I'll post a pic when I get home. I suspect one of the reasons I hasn't sold is because the color is weird (for my taste) blue...
How do I check the drive train to make sure everything is ok?
What else should I check for?
