17 Roubaix here with a recent Zipp 303s (beadless rim) upgrade...S-works Turbo Rapidair 26c tubeless. Like the Contis tubeless (mounted on my Rovals) but aren’t recommended by Zipp for that wheel. The wheels do shed crosswinds nice. 7yrs your junior. Set the bar high for me 🤣

I appreciate it so much, as you know these comments mean alot to me and make it all worht it... I will try to contiure this the best I can for you

Took 3 months for this very bike to arrive. I absolutely love it. Super comfy, especially vs my Tarmac Pro. Love the wide range of gears with the SRAM drive train. Great up hills, very fast on the flats. Did a PR today! ❤️🚴

[@GCPerformance18]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@LoaforDie]

I wish the cables are run internally like the Venge and Tarmac so hidden cables. But it’s a great bike. I love my 2020 Roubaix comp. Simple with the mechanical ultegra and the 1.5 future shock. And I think the seat post is the pavē. That’s the one I have on mine.

[@1bojanbojan]

I agree on the cables. But that’s hard to do with future shock. Love my Roubaix

[@GCPerformance18]

same but we will see what happenes becvause that future shock takes up alkot of space

[@1000750]

Almost 5 times the price of my new bike. Crazy. I'll go with my bike, my MTB, a BMX, and a gravel bike all for that price. Sick bike tho.

Good god ... hands down - for me, this is the best looking bike ever.

[@GCPerformance18]

[@vongdong10]

I like the future shock but it's far too expensive for what it is. I also feel the wedged seat hardly does anything.

[@GCPerformance18]

it gives a lto of play and its not as harshg when hitting bumps for sure it makes it comfy

[@juanpadilla8808]

Why doesn’t the Roubaix sworks come in 12r carbon? I feel like we are getting cheated here and still asking for same price as tarmac? Just curious if specialized will correct their errors?

[@GCPerformance18]

I dont know why, maybe soon they wil do it but maybe they want a little denser carbon for comfort

[@JayMerchantPhD]

I think it's because the 11R is more comfortable. The 12R is more stiff and snappy than the the former.
