Bikes: Specialized Roubaix

If you bought it from a dealer they should be amenable to getting you properly fitted. Even if you bought it private sale, a Specialized dealer should continue to honor the implied warranty on the original sale, especially for a low cost operation like a sales fit. Quick release seatposts have a threaded adjustment on the other side of the cam lever and if yours is slipping you need to tighten that adjustment just a little so the cam lever holds better. In my city keeping the OEM q/r seatpost collar means the loss of a sometimes pricey saddle very quickly. You only do that once, especially when its a tandem and that seatpost and saddle were attached to a very spendy Controltech Stoker stem and Stoker bullhorns.
I called Specialized not long after I bought it used from a private party who did not know what year it was. When I gave them the serial number they told me it is a 2013 Roubaix Comp.
I also think it looks better than the current models but the new ones aren’t made for looks. They are pure performance. Mine is perfectly fine for me.
