I dropped the bars as far as possible but the reach and drop of the handlebar is also way too different. To be honest, while it is something I'd like addressed, that is concern #2 . Concern #1 is having a better shifting bike and that it can be interchangeable with the giant being 11spd as well.

While both bikes are good bikes, it is incredible how much better the Giant feels to me. I guess it could be debated but the Roubaix feels sluggish and muted in comparison. It takes a lot more effort to go the same speed on the rouabaix than on the Giant.
