Did I buy a Specialized Roubaix?
So I bought this parts bike yesterday. Was told it was a Specialized Roubaix. Whoever repainted it did a good job, but I can't tell if it is a Roubaix or not. Has a carbon fork and carbon rear stays. I know the parts are not original but....what is it? What year?

I don't think so, especially since it lacks all those Zerts inserts that Specialized was into a decade ago. Could be a Fuji Roubaix AC?

Looks like a trek 2300 they were kind of like that. Does look like a Spec though.

The seat stay near the seat post and down by the rear der. does look similar to this one: https://store.bicycleczar.com/54cm-S...p/11170547.htm

I looked through a lot of images of Specialized and as someone suggested Fuji Roubaix's. I didn't see anything just like it.

That is a very unusual carbon seat stay joint. It doesn't match any specialized or Fuji or any other brand that I can find, except...
2008 or 2009 Bianchi Nirone 7 Veloce. Dropout looks the same too an original fork.

Wow! What a great find! It looks exactly like that, Thank you so much for your help. It's always nice to find a Bianchi when you are not expecting it.
