This bike is a 2018 model year Specialized Roubaix Comp , in a 54cm frame size. The colour is “Gloss Sunset Chameleon/Tarmac Black Edge Fade/Rocket Red Clean”. I have owned the bike from new (November last year), and it has covered fewer than 1000 miles (probably more like 700), mostly in dry conditions, and has been well cared for. I wont claim it is in perfect condition as it has been used, but it is certainly in very good condition and has had no crashes or significant marks/scratches etc. I have loved riding this bike, it is perfect for the less-than-perfect British roads with the Future Shock and compliant rear end taking the sting out of the imperfections, and the latest Ultegra drivetrain parts work brilliantly, especially the hydraulic disc brakes. It is also great to look at with the chameleon effect paintwork looking different in different lights. The bike has also been well reviewed in the press, winning Endurance Road Bike of the Year in a Bikeradar review. The spiel from Specialized says. When you’re rolling smoother, you’re rolling faster. Regardless of if you’re on the cobbles of Northern France or the chip and seal of your hometown, you’ll benefit immensely from the Roubaix Comp. The super-light frame has been constructed from FACT 10r carbon fibre. Its stiffness levels are also off the charts, and compared to the SL4 iteration of yesteryear, you’ll experience a whole new, faster, and more efficient geometry. Through some engineering sorcery, however, we’ve managed to keep the same fit, feel, and position that we’ve all come to love from the SL4, and kept it consistent throughout the size-range due to our Rider-First Engineered construction. Future Shock is essentially a piston in the head tube with 20mm of travel. We developed this technology in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies, and the result of this are a host of drastic performance improvements, namely in the vertical compliance department. Without giving a physics lecture, we found that focusing on vertical compliance, instead of fork splay, meant that we could improve smoothness, speed, and comfort in one fell swoop. And of all the bikes that we’ve tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model, the new Roubaix outperforms anything on the market. Lastly, we spec’d it with awesome components, like Ultegra 8000 11-speed mechanical shifting, 8020 hydraulic disc brakes, and ultra-tough Roval SLX 24 wheels that have been cased in our Turbo Pro 28mm tyres.

The originals are a 42cm Specialized Comp Hover bar, and Specialized Turbo Pro 28c tyres. The bike is currently set up for myself as a 5ft9 rider, so it would suit someone around 5ft7 to 5ft11 approximately. The stem position is currently in the low setting, spacers and an alternative higher top cap for the Future Shock unit are included, so the bars can be raised significantly if required (unlike a non-Future Shock bike with a standard steerer tube arrangement), especially if theHover bars are re-fitted. The original manuals, plastic pedals, soft and hard Future Shock springs and various other original small parts are also included. The bike is in Horley, Surrey, not far from Gatwick Airport, so close to the mainline station there and the M25 and M23 motorways.
