Excellent for $895 at www.bikesdirect.com For full retail of $1300 there are other choices. Pros- Smooth ride (for aluminum) Light -18.6 lbs 105 components Triple Cons- Tacky paint job IMO for 2002 Has a less than substantial feel For a steel bike the Roubaix Pro is speced the same except for a double and an 853 frame. |

"Rich" wrote in message ... Is it any good? I considered the Roubaix (sp?) models (regular and pro) while shopping for my first-ever road bike recently (well, first since around 1972!), along with the aluminum Team Fusion. Nice bikes for the money, but they rode a tad harsh IM (admittedly uninformed) O. Then I rode a Klein Q-carbon (AL w/carbon stays) and the entry-level Lemond titanium, and my fate was $ealed. Got the KQC, Bill |
