I just picked up this baby. I'd not been much of a fan of Trek since every other bike i see is one. But after riding it & getting a deal I couldn't refuse....Well, I couldn't refuse. 
I just got new black & dk. gray marble bar tape in the mail today. Got rid of the original nasty blue tape, original wheels, & original saddle. Put on Neuvation M28Aero wheels & Fi'zi:k Pave saddle. Rides like a dream!

Welp, I took the plunge and bought my first true road bike! I have been riding around on an old Ciocc steel bike outfitted with 105 but today I bought a used 2004 Specialized Roubaix Elite triple from Craigslist and I really like it. I just brought it home and will take it out for it's maiden voyage tomorrow when it is light out. Here are some pics, pretty straightforward, full Ultegra except for the wheels (540s) and the cassette (Dura Ace) and the stem is ITM. I will have a hard time learning the STI style, but I think I will be okay
edit: sorry the pics are so big, I linked 'em

I love this bike more than words can describe. I'm trying to save up to replace the bar/stem/seatpost, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.
