I've bought a Specialized Roubaix with the SRAM force about six months now and couldn't be happier. I probably have about 3500 miles on it since I got it.

I love the fact you only have to deal with one lever and you don't have to move the brake lever like you do on Shimanno (Always thought that was a weird idea). It takes a little getting used to but, after a couple of rides it will be second nature. It's very responsive and quick. I've only had it adjusted once about a month after I bought it I guess because of cable stretch.

The best think I can say about it is I doubt if I will ever go back to Shimanno.

I live in HB but work in Irvine and can bring in the 58cm Roubaix if you want. PM me if you want to setup a meet.
