I suppose I'll post this one here too. Got my new cranks on. It's 6030g as pictured, or 13.294lbs. I think I am done other than chainrings, and possibly bottle cages.

nah, it ain't that light.
It's no R5CA or anything. I feel the aero aspects the most. The weight does help though.

Dawnron1. Just got a Roubaix Elite Apex. Coming from a 2006 Sequoia. I loved my Sequoia but wow, what a ride the Roubaix is!! I am 6'5" and go around 240. The ride is awesome and the SRAM Apex is great. I was worried about going from triple to double but the Apex is great. I ride is rolling terrain with a few hills and have not gone to small ring on front yet.. I used to go to middle ring a lot on Sequoia with occasional use of granny.

I was going to post my finished road bike today, but after I took the pics I realized my seat angle was off and the crank was at the wrong angle...

I went through a pretty extensive measuring process at LBS who is certified Specialized fitter/dealer, etc. I was pretty much right in middle of specs for 61cm. It depends on other factors though such as torso length, leg length, etc. I have long legs, long arms, and short torso. This bike fits great for me. Good luck!!

^^^ Nice! I don't often like colored tires, but it really works in this case.

My first ever road bike - a Scott S50 Speedster with Sora components, 24 speed. Black/White, with stock pedals from the dealer - will be putting on toe clip pedals.
