Specialized Roubaix vs ...


awesme

Recommended Posts

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?

 

Scott

Giant

Cannondale

Trek

There are no competitors. Specialized is in a league of it's own. :whistling:  Just get the Roubaix and enjoy it .

Something different... Dedacciai Gladiatore

 

I replaced my Specialized Secteur with this carbon beauty a few months ago. Lovin it!

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.

From what I've seen you will battle to beat BH on their prices. Great bikes at GREAT prices.
