    30 seconds of googling brings up these reviews which suggests the trek.........I am on my 3rd Roubaix and, as much as I love my S Works and my previous Pro, in all honesty the base model Roubaixs are a touch overweight and under-specced, IMHO obviously.

    I have read review after review but still couldnt decide so thought individuals experiences would be the next step.

    Thanks

    I think those 2 reviews are the individual opinions of the tester.

    why not go to your nearest Trek and specialized dealer, and ask for a test ride on each. then make up your own mind.

    you wouldn't buy a car without test driving one, right?

    I have a Trek Domane 4.5 and a Specialized Roubaix (not the SL4 Sport though) for me the Trek wins hands down especially on longer rides, more comfortable and feels more responsive.
