Evening all
I have just been down to my LBS to see what is available for £1100-1400....anyway long story short I have been offered an 07 Spesh Roubaix Expert for £1650 down from £1999. It has been on 2 very short (round the car park) test rides and is mint.
Whilst it is a little over budget; it's a lot of bike for the money and in my size 58 they are like rocking horse droppings so "deals" are non existant.
So...is it worth going for..?

Lincolnshire is mostly flat... but the wind is mostly in your face!0 -
i would proceed with stealth and make sure you do not want a sportier bike than the roubaix...if that's the type of bike you're after then it's a good deal!0

I found this deal earlier this evening which I thought was good (hope it does not make chosing even harder for you):

roubaix is relaxed geometry, scott is rock on racing geometry. i have a roubaix comp and love it. i have no desire to get down so low that my knees hit chest so i didn't buy a racing geometry bike.
roubaix deals ARE non existent and yours is a cracking deal.
all depends what you want reallyis it on yet?0 -
As FH says proceed carefully its a lot of dosh if it end up not fit for purpose . Not just now but in the future . Depends on what you want but I found the Roubaix felt a little dead and unresponsive when I was in the market for a new steed . Did not want an out and out racer either so went for this

I also heard good reports about the Willier Mortorolo but could not test ride so went for the Cannondale ; A few folsk on here have the Willier .0
