Also helps that unknown persons yell 'nice bike' when I roll by. My LBS tech also commented 'hey nice rig man'. My previous bike was a hand built steel frame Burley full Campy which I loved but was stolen.
The Roubaix is twice the bike, although hey, if I paid full retail it would be twice or three times the cost of the Burley. But I still can't say enough about the Roubaix. I'm not a racer or a techy, but ride 2.

Carves a clean line through corners and even with the slghtly longer wheelbase and longish chainstays the bike is very fast to accelerate. The s works frame is just amazing and at a complete weight of just 1. Weaknesses: none found to date. Bottom Line: The best ride I have owned to date- hands down.

Bike Setup: S Works Roubaix frameset with full Ultegra Grouppo,Roval wheelset, Sella Italia flight Gel Flow saddle. Submitted by. john cambroto. Recreational Rider. Date Reviewed: January 2. Strengths: I am an over 2. Has great dimension's for long and rough riding roads, but it can keep up with the kids on the block during the short sprinys as well. It climbs like a billy goat.
Weaknesses: Did I say I love this bike. I have been riding a little over 1. I have owned 4- 5 road bikes, includind a roubauix comp. I sold the comp and quickly regretted it since no other bike had this level of performance, comfort and looks. I bought the S- work frame, fork and crank from a gentleman upgrading to a 2. S- works bike. Highly recommended. Favorite Ride: Roubauix s- work.

Submitted by. cslayton. Recreational Rider. Date Reviewed: September 1. Strengths: Hard to describe, stiff (to me) in the crank, but easy on the butt. Weaknesses: None so far.
Bottom Line: Note that the price I paid is for a used (2. I cannot comment on a stock version of this bike. This was not sold to me with the Barmac setup. I plan to stay with the Elite for daily commuting, when I use a trunk or backpack, and reserve the SL for long weekend rides. But with this bike, that changed.
At just 1. 5 lbs (without my Brooks Swift, tools, pump, and bottles), this machine took me 6. GA border from Weaver AL and back on Labor Day, and then a full century the following Saturday, for a real morale booster on only my 4th ride. Climbing and descending are exceptional, flat- out is so much lighter and stiffer than my Elite that the SL feels like a racing bike, and since I do not race, that it good enough for me. I weigh abt 1. 70, so the Toupe would probably be ideal if I were a little more ideal. I have liked my previous Avatars and Aliases, but I am somewhat old- fashioned when it comes to saddles.
I have a full- size crankset in reserve for when I am as big and fast at Tom Boonen, so it may never leave my shelf, but I live in hope. I have never paid an MSRP for any bicycle, so caveat emptor if you are looking on e. Bay, but I suspect that had I bought it new at ca $5. I would be just as happy with it. As it was, I have only about a total of $1.
Bay wheeling and dealing. Had issues with headset(bottom bearing loose) & original seatpost(slipping and cracking) a chance that I have technical knowledge to resolve these issues. Beside that, this bike track like crazy going curvy downhill.
Going uphill it is good but not the best I had to keep the momentum. On flats this bike will never and will not be my fastest choice because when you power stroke- it to maintain your top speed there is to much vertical power loss (3 to 4 mph less)and a flexy seatpost. This bike is more for the cruising speed of a century. You can ride all day long with this bike to built up you endurance. If you planned to get this bike as a race fit you might be deceived because frame size have the strenght to go with the average rider's weight and height or you may end up with power loss. Well this is my conclusion about- it after 3.
The real advantage comes on bad roads where you will maintain your speed compare to quicker/stiffer bike frame. By the way that frame have a stiff BB and no flexy front end but vertically.. Favorite Ride: Most of everything. Price Paid. $5. 00. Purchased At: I built the bike.
