Specialized Roubaix....Framesets available??

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

Forget the S-Works, does Specialized just sell the Roubaix frameset alone? And.....is it the identical frameset all through the line, from entry level up through Pro?
Thanks.

Expert/Pro uses a higher modulus carbon so it's a little lighter and could be a little stiffer. S-Works version uses an even higher modulus carbon.

Article on specialized carbon frames including lots of these details:
