Get to 22mph avg on a hour and half ride or more (at 17.7mph now) 2. order the bike I want 3. Ride in the BPMS 150 in April. Good Lord willing it will happen soon.
That 1.5 hours @ 22 mph will be a righteous thing to accomplish!
I'm ordering mine (silver Expert) on Friday. I guess it'll show up in January. I took my Sequoia for a vigorous 53 miles yesterday- lots of steep climbs- and the whole time I was thinking how nice a new bike will be.
OP: have you ridden a Roubaix yet? I've only ridden a SL3 Comp... anyway, if you are picturing a plusher Sequoia you might be in for a surprise. The Sequoia, or my 2008 at least, doesn't lack for smoothness. It's just a noodle, especially the rear triangle. Anyway, the Roubaix I rode felt very stiff in comparison- to the point where I was wondering if it'll be a step BACK in comfort in some ways.
