Roubaix FACT 9r vs 10r
Hi All - I just picked up a used 2018 Specialized Roubaix Sport in the Orange/Yellow colorway. From everything that I read online, the frame should be made from FACT 9r carbon. However, on the bike frame where it lists the Model and Material, for Material it says "FACT 10r".
Did I actually get a Comp or something? Thanks!

There was a bizarre thread a year or two ago where someone was obsessing over his FACT #. IIRC, the gist of it was that Specialized had some inconsistencies in their labeling.

Does it matter that much? If you had photos and maybe a serial number we could look it up (or at least I or another dealer of Spesh could) and determine what model it is. If you enjoy the bike and didn't pay too much for it, why worry about a reasonably minor upgrade?
