I'll be getting the bike at 1999. I test rode a felt f70, a spec. roubaix, and a couple others before trying the pilot 5.0. There was a dramatic increase in comfort level when riding the pilot. Perhaps that's just the carbon frame. Is there a similar cabron frame bike at the same price point I should try? The roubaix just had carbon fork and seatstays I think.

Comfort for the ride was my biggest choice. Want as much speed for as much comfort as I can get.
