Can a mod move to road bikes please

Hey guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my Vilano because I've been getting more serious about riding lately and want to do my first 100k this year. It's a 54cm and at 5'6", 31" inseam I feel a little stretched out when reaching for the handlebars.


Looking for an endurance-ish bike. I don't think I'll ride 50miles regularly, but can do 25miles with 2k ft elevation right now.


Both of these bikes are on CL. The Specialized I'm going to test ride today, the Fuji is a few hours from me but planning to be in that area next week.


The 2017 Fuji Roubaix 1.5 is $650 vs a 2011 Specialized Roubaix Elite SL2 Apex Compact for $900. Sellers may or may not work with me on pricing. Both ads advertise the bikes as low milage, the Specialized says around 100 miles. I've looked at bikebluebook and they're both a few hundred over suggested used price in good condition.

​​​​​​What are your thoughts about these bikes? I've read that Synapse, Domane, and Contend are other models for endurance, but none on the used market in a 52cm.


Thanks for your feedback, Joel.
