Hi All,
I want to buy a Roubaix because of some back problems and lack of flexibility.
Looking at 2013 models, my wallet liked the white elite model. Nevertheless its a bit expensive (around 2.400€).
My LBS can get me a brand new 2011 comp SL2 frame (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bik...sl2compc2rival), and mount my existing bike components for a very good price (770€). I currently have a Sram Rival complete groupset, mavic ksyrium equipe wheels, and a Pro vibe 7s kit on the front (all in good condition).
I think it sounds a good deal, but Im afraid that its an outdated frame.
Is there many diferences beteween both frames? Do you know the weigth diference beteween them?
Whats your opinion?
Thanks,
Paulo

The frame will be very similar if not the same. Main difference will be the colour. I would say go for it.x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
