My 12 year old Specialized Roubaix needs replacing and after testing many bikes, I have narrowed it down to a 2018 Roubaix Comp and a 2017 Giant Advanced SL 2. Both bikes are so much better than what I am used to, and I am tempted to go for the Giant, but a nervous about the racing geometry. Any thoughts?
what bothers you? Is it the twitchy nature of racing geo? You will like the intuitive nature of the bike. If you want to switch over a few feet, you think and it turns. You get used to it. My ‘88 Cdale Crit Series is about as twitchy as it gets.
