Hubby goes Pro
..... Roubaix Pro, that is!
After the seat post was swapped to eliminate the popping/cracking noise, a new noise popped up in the crank that could not be resolved at the bike shop. They contacted Specialized, who offered a new frame. Specialized didn't have an Expert frame in stock, so they sent the Roubaix Pro Frameset -- an upgrade from the Expert. The LBS owner delivered the bike to our door this evening, ready to roll. Not a bad deal!
As for me and my bike..... I love it. I'm one with the bike and totally comfortable on it. No pain, no discomfort. I'm totally jazzed.
