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

I have these, and they're great. Did you go with the SOB build?

That would be nice. I got hit with a customs duty tax that I wasn't aware of for mine. My own fault for not reading the fine print from wiggle. Still it was worth it value wise. I would have had to spend another 200-300 bucks for a comparable big name brand.

Here is my Roubaix I got after Thanksgiving. I'll flatten out the stem in the summer, my back doesn't do well in the cold.

Wow, I also have the Z85 & It's crazy how different it looks just by subbing out the tires, and bar tape.
P.S. -- Those wheels are sexy.
