Look for a bike that fits like the Roubaix, but with wider tire clearance, if you ever get the urge to ride off pavement.
I LOVE the Roubaix...it felt "right" the instant I test rode it. I've typically had to buy bikes without test rides because no one seems to stock 61cm!! If it could take a 38mm tire it would probably be perfect. I like the Lynskey, don't get me wrong. It's not as snappy as the Roubaix but certainly more versatile. Plus Ti should outlast me. I feel like I have to wear lycra on the Roubaix and I don't feel guilty for being slow on the Lynskey for just cruising around/Z2 rides.
It seems like there's a consensus in the poll!
I think I will keep both and I really appreciate everyone's help thinking through this. Is it OK to spam with pictures haha...
