Roubaix SL2

I posted a review of this frameset in the complete bike review section. I posted it under the Dura Ace complete bike. However, the review is only about the frame, as I built it with Campy Record components. There was not a review for the frame only, but I wanted to post my thoughts on the bike if anyone is thinking of getting one.

In short, awesome frame/bike!

Thanks for the compliments! I am really impressed with how the bike is able to combine speed with comfort.

I remember a few years back when I first saw the arched top tubes, I thought they were kind of strange looking, but now, like you, bantam, I think they are quite sexy.

If I ever decide to go with skinny tires, the Roubaix is at the top of a VERY short list, already decided that some time ago. Sweetness!
