2017 Specialized Roubaix Compact - 8r or 10r?
Can anyone who has a 2017 Specialized Roubaix Compact confirm if the carbon is 8r or 10r? 
Too many websites contradicting themselves, even Specialized i'm not sure why the carbon would be different from the Elite or Expert version.

There is no 2017 compact model. Are you getting the old pre-2013 Sport Compact model confused with the 2017 Comp? It should be compared to the 2017 sport, which is 9r. The 2017 comp is 10r.

Ok thanks.
I never thought it would come to this, but the clean white look of the bike frame is really what i'm after; those new colours just don't speak to me and I never thought that riding a black, charcoal, or dark blue bike on the road was a good idea (visibility). And I also don't need the latest technology, as I don't bike for a living.
