2014 Roubaix Expert in da HOUSE!

Picked up my bike today! After some fitting on a trainer, and a debacle with my debit card that necessitated me finally just going and getting cash... I unceremoniously tossed it in the back of my truck and drive home in the rain.

It was an easy toss. Sucka is LIGHT! By my standards anyway.

I sprung for (1) carbon bottle cage. That way Mr. Ratliff will just think I'm half stupid! I'll see how I like it.... it's a Specialized Rib Cage.

Since I had to go get cash, I made them give me a little torque tool for my apparantly-fragile seatpost.

His "fit" put me around 3/4" lower than I am on my other bike, measuring crank center to seat, which is interesting. To his credit he was very clear that what he was doing was a rough fit. Also to his credit he spent a good hour doing it for me- measuring leg angles, dropping plumb lines, etc. We'll see.

I'll see if I can find a place to photo it out in my man cave. Pretty cluttered out there. If not I'll do it tomorrow. Very pretty bike- a LOT more red than the Specialized website photos would lead you to think.
