Southern California - New Roubaix Has Landed...

I got to pick up my new S-Works Roubaix last night :D . This bike is amazing, somehow they made the new S-Works Roubaix way stiffer, yet even more comfy and smooth than the Roubaix Pro, not to mention lighter. I took it out this morning through Back Bay and Laguna Canyon, when I wasn't busy trying to feel my toes and face, I really enjoyed the ride (except for the seat post sliding down about 2" :( ). I went back into Surf City today for a fit, and made some small adjustments. I can tell that I'm gonna love this bike. So here she is, all 15.7 lbs or her ;) It weighs in at 16.3 with my Kysrium SL's, which are my daily wheels. Please keep me away from that store!

Thanks, I think I showed it to my wife before she told on me ;) She just told me it looked like a "serious bike".

:lol: When I showed my mom my R3, she didn't realize it was new.

a 'serious' bike huh? Gotta love that! It looks beautiful and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

Trac'

I like the Zero G's, I had them on my crit bike, that I barely ever use, that bike became an organ donor to the Roubaix. Once installed, the brakes are great, good stopping power, smooth and a nice feel. They're a bit more testy to install than Shimano brakes.

I know, same with the saddle, but it looks sooo sexy when it's new.:D

No kidding I love the white look, my 9 year old says all the white stuff makes the bike "Girly". Yet
he puts a little teddy bear some girl gave on his bike.

SCC actually carries decent equipment that I would ( and do ) buy.
There is a small article on SCC on specialized web site under "News".
