The new, yet to be named, ride



After many months of trying to keep up with my friends on Champ, my commuter bike, I finally bought myself a new ride. It is a 2008 Specialized Roubaix Expert with the new ice grey Shimano Ultegra SL component group. Compact chainrings up front (50/34) and 12-27 casette on back (although I am thinking of switching to an 11-25). For full specs, go here http://http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=33546

After taking this picture, I flipped the stem, so the handlebars are lower.

People often comment about the wicked shaped seat stays (picture below)

YOU make THAT bike look gooood. I am excited for you to have it- it looks great in the dining room, but I am thinking you should move it to the garage.
