Looking to get a new bike
I see that I could pick up a bargin on 2011 Expert but hate the colour. The 2012 is black and white and looks good, however I will want to change the wheels + i like the idea of SRAM, Hence I might go mad and do a build off the SWORKS Roubiax frame.
Anyone else got a SWorks farme - worth it??

I have a roubaix pro- my bro in law has an expert. same frame but expert is Ultegra group, whereas pro is mainly dura ace
I think the expert/pro frame is as good as you need to get- unless you can build an s works frame up with ultegra for £3000 (unlikely ) I'd go for a expert. I got an as new pro for £2000 and it is largely dura-ace kit, weighhs 7.4kg and is all the bike anyone would need.
If you can get a cheap s works frame for £1200, ( or primera have a complete s works bike for £3800 ) it may be worth it , otherwise I wouldn't bother TBH0 -
What happened to last years wilier ?
Not really much point asking us - we've all got our favourites but they may not suit you.
Get to a big bike shop and get a good fitting.
A bike that doesn't suit or fit you is no bargain.0 -
a wilier Izoard athena but the bike does not suit me
i have had a test roubiax expert for 2 days and like it a lot more than my wilier

I have S-works tarmac and compared to previous bikes it is a world apart. Would recommend it to anyone.0
