Seems a shame just to commute on a nice bike like yours, will you use it for fun rides as well?

thanks yeah mostly i commute to get out on my bike as a lot of my time is spent doing other things, i'm pretty lucky anyways that its 15miles each way so get the miles in & can extend it easily enough to take in some countryside which is what i do in the summer a couple of times a week

3 Posts in, Joined today, and you respond with that! Classy real Classy, suppose he should slam the stem and ride a bike that's too big.

Nice bike, enjoy. Just make sure you don't confuse it with a Canadian Café.

Nice comeback. 8)

That is probably the nicest Roubaix I have seen on here. Good choice of upgrades too.
