Yes that is low, I must have gone off onto one of the other numerous variants of the Roubaix. Still, any of the "Endurance" bikes made today look interesting for road touring if you don't need racks and panniers. It's a shame that Cervelo stopped making the RS because it worked really well on the Erie canal bike path.
