Ok so there has been a red bike thread and there had been a Cannondale thread. I have noticed a lot of posts from Roubaix owners lately and as a new Roubaix onwer myself I think we should have a thread too.

Plus at least unlike many other threads recently it will have Road Cycling content.

So post your photos, build details, and ride expierences here.

I will start. Just got an 06 Roubaix Comp which I am tearing down to rebuild with Campagnolo components. I quickly found out that the Gerolsteiner logos are meant to be removed...this was a bit disapointing as I liked how they looked...a quick email exchange with Specialized customer service had new high tack stickers on the way which I have received but not yet applied to the frame.

Roubaix Comp 06 frame/fork/seatpost/stem
FSA SLK MegaEXO compact
Specialized Toupe
Campagnolo Record brakes
Campagnolo Record Ergo levers
Campagnolo Record rear derailleur
Campagnolo Centaur CT front derailleur
Shimano SPD-R600 pedals (hate to mix them in but they work so well)
Easton EA70 bars (for now)
DT Swiss RR1.1/SpeedCific wheels (custom built by Mike Garcia at oddsandendos.com)

Here is the stripped frame:



And we have a new rig. All the parts showed up on Thurs and Fri and I spent Fri evening puting them together with care. Here she is:




Well I have updated the Roubaix...here is a newer photo.



In an odd twist of fate my mother recently got an 06 Ruby from her husband for Christmas. She just sent me a photo of her and her new bike. Apparently she went out on it for the first time today and had a fall with the clipless pedals. She is fine and didn't say anything about the bike so I assume it is also fine, apparently it was 34° today in Austin. FWIW she turns 70 at the end of April...go MOM.

Here she is with her new Ruby.
