I think the CR1 is better compared to the Tarmac rather than the Roubaix. I have an 06 CR1 Pro w/Ultegra since about June. I rode both the Tarmac and the CR1, I did not ride the Roubaix as I was looking for something with more race geometry. I found the CR1 compared very well with the Tarmac Pro but in the end I like the look of the CR1 better, it fit me a bit better and was quite a bit cheaper. I have about 3,500 miles on it so far and I am very happy with it.
