specialized roubaix questions
I just perchased a second hand roubaix. I can't find on the frame which sub-model it is. Where should I look. Thanks.

right on the top tube, where it says Roubaix, just underneath that it gives the model....i.e. Comp, Elite..etc. Barring that, if it's 105, it's a Comp, Ultegra is Elite etc

I think Ultegra is Expert actually, I though the Elite was the 105/FSA mix below the comp.

I test-rode a Roubaix Expert. Nice bike. I thought it was good. Then I test-rode a Cervelo RS. MY BIKE.
This is my third year on my RS. I LOVE THIS BIKE. I have an old Specialized Stumpy, I got in 95. I've rebuilt it. Good bike. I got a Crux Expert last fall. Brakes weak, tires not so good for punctures. I haven't redone the brakes, tires, went to Shwalbe Duremes after 3 punctures in 500 miles. I've ridden Specialized Armadillos, excellent durability. But their Crux had puncture-weak tires. The SRAM Apex is good. Brakes, not sure what happened there, even my wife riding her Crux noticed their anemic performance.
I mean, with mods, Specialized makes nice bikes.

OP: if you can't post pics, what are the colors and groupset?
