I like the looks of the cervelo better so I tend to want to ride it more? But for 50 or 60+ miles I grab the roubaix.

So to sum up, the R5 for my daily riding and the roubaix for the weekend rides (longer).

Thanks Chris. You are a lucky man to own two such great bikes. I have considered a R5 as a quicker stablemate to my Roubaix. Believe, I would love a S5 if riding 10/10's but that would be a small cross-section of the riding I do.
