1st Road Bike

    Looking to get my first road bike. Not going to buy brand new.

    I've had back problems in the past so want good endurance geometry and full carbon, ultegra etc... Willing to spend up to 2k for the right bike.

    My ideal bike would be something like a 2017 Specialized Roubaix Comp

    Any suggestions with links? I'm having a hard time finding anything that ticks the boxes

    What height are you?

    Should have mentioned, I am 6ft it with a longer body and shorter legs so would expect a 56" would suit but possibly even a 54"

    Sounds far to small. 56 at least possibly 58.

    I have an immaculate Trek Emonda for sale
    10 spd Tiagra groupset, but a frame very worthy of future upgrades
