I have an '08 Expert triple. My only regret is not getting the compact. I found I was hardly using the big ring in front and never using the smallest ring, so spending 90% of my time on the 39 ring. i simply switched out the 53 for a 50 and now use at least the outer two rings.

Great bike for the money. I'm 6'4" and 225 or so. No wheel issues at all. Others have commented on the Toupe' saddle. I hated it and got a Selle Anatomica and love the combination of that saddle with the relaxed geometry. Put about 3000 miles on it this season. Not as much as others, but enough to be able to say that the Roubaix was a great choice for me.
