awesme Posted October 27, 2015 Share Hi guys So to have some peddle time during the week I'm looking at buying a roadie bike. To this end I'm starting to look around... Saw the 2016 Specialized Roubaix SL4 last night, I liked what I saw, as a complete bike of as a frameset. I see you can also get it as a disc brake option, which as MTB'er I like more. I'd love to win the lottery and get the electronic shifting, but engaging brain cells make me think 105's or Ultegra. For this type of frame, in this class, whats the other Brand/model competitors?

awesme Posted November 1, 2015 Share Hi all Trying to compare bike prices in SA with here. Can any of you update your posts with a local price. Looks like it might be cheaper to buy in SA and bring back with me. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
