Pic of my Roubaix Comp
I just got back into riding after a nearly 20 year layoff (had a Cannondale w/ 105 right after HS), and started with this Roubaix Comp triple I got four weeks ago. I'm trying to average 100 miles a week, though half of it has been on a Cyclops mag trainer due to lack of riding time. I really love this bike. I'm glad I spent a little more than I had originally planned, but I've still caught upgrade-itis, thanks to all the bike porn pics I've seen on this site. I just put on the Look Keo Carbons this week, and I may change the wheels. The Specialized Avatar Gel seat is a great fit for me, which is unfortunate, because it's making it hard to justify a Fizik Arione Carbon! If you're into sports cars, the one in the pic is my other red toy, an '89 328GTB. I've actually put more miles on the Roubaix in the past month that the car has had in the past year!

You don't want the Arione carbon anyway...get the Toupe...cheaper, lighter, and just as comfortable as the Avatar.
Aren't these bikes great? Oh also love the 328

Sweet bikes! I tested a Roubaix yesterday along with a few other bikes at a local Demo Days at a park near my house. The Roubaix was very nice. Not sure which model... it was mostly Ultegra and was primarily grey or silver.

that's the elite. ONly comes in one color. Full ultegra. THe comp is just as nice, but i decided if i was paying that much for a bike I would get the one that I liked the looks of. That silver and black is smooth.
The comp (red & black) has ultegra derailluers I believe and 105 brakes/shifters. A sweet ride as well.

My above statement is false. It's the Roubaix EXPERT triple that's silver/carbon (black). not the elite. I think the elite comes in blue or something.

sorry if I am out of lines here, but I think if we want to see a stock bike, then we can always see it online or google it,
those bikes memtions above are just the same as these
then, what the point of this topic, also we already have a topic here to show your bike

FAR cry from stock. If the guy is proud of his bike why can't he post a thread about it...everyone else does.Oh yea these look just alike...for sure:
