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.
Thanks. I'll try to test ride the roubaix in the next weekend or two. It's outside of my price range by quite a bit (as is just about any ti bike), at least new, but perhaps it can be a reference if I can find one used.
