Any particular reason why you chose to take pic with red garage/storage door? It's a hot, flashy Allez but it makes the bike look a bit camouflagy..unless that's what you were going for.

Sweet bike, I especially like the colour you picked for the bar tape.

But unfortunately, it's not "hot".

To be "hot", you'd need to pick one or the other, silver or black, for the seatpost, stem, brake calipers, & drivetrain; probably needs some featherweight carbon aero wheels and tyres w/tan sidewalls; and then it'd have to be a super-high-quality magazine-quality photo.

Lovely bike, though. :thumb:

Not. Given the stack height, stem mounted up, and the shifters higher than the saddle, leads me to believe that this bike may be the wrong size. Or, you may be better off with a comfort style bike. JMHO

I rode one size bigger and smaller before settling on this size. The Roubaix is an endurance bike and you are correct it is set up for more comfort riding than racing. The stack height is more about the goofy future shock set up than personal preference.

I figured I would get flamed for the hideous turkey neck seat post, but nothing just yet.:D

I think the Gobbler is pretty much a known entity at this point, like a seat post turned backwards, the biggest challenge is the proportional lol of the shifters seeming to be twice the size of the bars. Ah well, comfort breeds joyfully long days in the saddle!

Too many not hot things about that bike to cover in one post.

I don't think it's much of a choice with hydro brakes and mechanical shifting.

Now we're getting somewhere!:lol:



Even the shimano Di2 hydro stuff is huge. The sram from what I have seen is slightly smaller. I have heard the campy hydro levers are about the same size as their mech brakes. I have big hands so the larger shifters work for me.

I think some of problem might just be the photograph. I’ve see those levers on bikes in the shop, and they don’t look early as bad.

The Roubaix is a strange looking bike, but from what I’ve heard, it rides nice.

This is a showroom stock, mass produced bike. Not Hot
