The T230 and roubaix have very different geometries--could it be that you prefer a racing geometry?
Good luck with the build and look forward to reading your updated review and pics.
It's actually more of endorsement for that particular bike (R230, not T230) than for titanium itself. There's plenty of bad Ti bikes out there.
The Roubaix was just uninspiring and felt kind of dead / muted. Could have been the geometry, I dunno. It was very stable at very high speeds over every possible surface, I will give it that.
