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

Any one know the weight of 2009 Specialized Roubaix Elite? I cannot find it anywhere on their site.

According to this page, the '09 Roubaix Comp (56cm compact) weighs 18.56 lbs, and since it's the next step up in the line (and 56cm instead of 58cm), I'd say the Elite would certainly weigh over 19 lbs.
