Specialized Spring Classics Sale
Specialized Spring Classics Sale now through April 22 with factory discounts of up to $1000. Looks like a great deal on the latest Specialized Carbon bikes.
I was offered the Roubaix Expert SL4 Compact Ui2 for $4100 ($1K off normal MSRP) or
the Roubaix Expert SL4 Compact for $3300 ($500 of normal MSRP)
My Trek Madone is now 7 years old so the discount was enough to convince me to buy a new bike.
I opted for the normal non-electric figuring I could always upgrade to Di2 in the future and keep the mechanical shifters and derailleurs to use on ther bikes.
I went with the Carbon Satin/Charcoal/Blue figuring it wouldn't be as popular as the Carbon/White/Red. The Ui2 Expert only comes in the Carbon/White/Red.
Pick it up next weekend.

The Roubaix SL4 Expert Compact comes with Ultegra.
I've been riding Ultegra and Dura-Ace stuff for over 25 years so I stayed with what I'm used too.
I did ride a friends Tarmac with SRAM Red and I liked it but it's big $ too. On the Roubaixs you have to move up to the S-Works models at $8000+ to get SRAM Red, or order a frame and build it up yourself.
