Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: 2015 Workswell 066, 2017 Workswell 093, 2014 Dawes Sheila, 1983 Cannondale 500, 1984 Raleigh Olympian, 2007 Cannondale Rize 4, 2017 Fuji Sportif 1 LE

And yes, the Secteur is relaxed geometry, Inpd ... check out Review: Specialized Secteur | Bicycle Times Magazine

"The frame is a modern hydroformed aluminum unit, the fork the now de rigueur carbon fiber. Both are equipped with Zertz inserts, a vibration-reducing elastomer in the fork legs and seat stays to help keep rough roads from ruining the ride. Its geometry numbers are more relaxed than Specialized’s more race-oriented frames, with a taller head- tube, longer chainstays, slacker head angle, and lower bottom bracket than the similarly priced but more racy Allez."

Why do I always end up doing research for you? From now on I am charging you for my time.

Thanks for the link!!!

I'm pretty sure it's the 2015 Specteur Sport Double in Red: Specialized Bicycle Components

I appreciate everyone's help and advice!!!

After just spending $60 to add some road wheels to my Mamba it makes it a hard time to pull the trigger on this bike. Right now I'm thinking of using the Mamba on the road for a while (maybe until Spring of next year), get used to riding it (making my next bike even more of a pleasure to ride), and hopefully finding a deal on a road bike early next year.

I found a seller on offerup with a 2013 trek 1.5 for 500. I am leaning towards that with the upgraded components, but is there a difference in the tiagra from 13 and now?

Yes, the current generation Tiagra (4700, 2016 model year) is modeled after the 11 speed groupsets (5800, 6800), including the new shaped hoods and internal cable routing. That being said, the previous generation Tiagra (4600) is a solid groupset as well, I've used it for years on my Giant Defy and functionally it works great.

The 21% off on nashbar is on... Nashbar 105 Road Bike
you can have the 105 bike for $700.
If you don't like, you can return it at any time... just make sure you look at the geometry chart, sizing changes from a manufacturer to another, even if both call it a "56"...
