Brand new specialized Roubaix elite

Cionn

I bought this a week ago, I should have got the bigger size, frame is 56cm. Currently retails at €3,100. I am selling it for €2.150 (exactly what I paid for it). The bike has done 50 meters. Not interested in any offers , all documentation provided if I don't get full price I will just return it to buy the same bike in a larger size. Bike was delivered 18th February.

About the Bike
The idea of a perfect road is a myth, as there's always a chip, a crack, a rough patch—you name it. But with our Roubaix Elite, you'll be taming wild asphalt without any extra effort. This is how road bikes were always meant to be. 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. Specialized 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. Lastly, the Roubaix Elite is spec'd with 105 11-speed mechanical shifting, RS hydraulic disc brakes, and DT R470 Disc wheels that have been cased in our Turbo Pro 28mm tires.

Key Features

FACT 10r carbon Frame is stiff where you need it, compliant where you don’t
FACT carbon Fork is engineered to flex to absorb shock and vibration
Shimano 105 22 Speed Drivetrain for super fast, light and accurate shifting
Shimano RS505 Hydraulic disc brakes give powerful, controllable and consistent stopping power with less effort
DT Swiss R470 Wheelset is designed to give light and reliable performance
Turbo Pro 700 x 28c Tyres for the fastest speed on the tarmac

Not making offers, just want to say that sure is one beautiful bike dude. Wish I had the money to buy it and good luck finding a seller.

Lovely bike alright, in the flesh the specialized branding is much more subtle, I think the flash is to fault. I was hoping to get out this weekend to start the season right but may have to wait a few more weeks.

Is it just one size too small? I see you have the saddle very high but if that's comfortable for your legs it might just be a matter of getting a longer stem for the bike to be a good fit.

Cionn

I have been through the fit and based on the retailer option I can return it, so I will do that rather than messing with stems etc. I am a bit of a pain like that (according to my wife) if it's not right and I can change it would drive me mad each time I ride it.

That's fcuking delish man. Only for I've a Cannondale Synapse which is a similar type of bike sitting unused under my stairs and considering whether or not to sell myself I'd be all over this

Is this still available? Asking for a buddy who’s after something just like this.
Where are you based?

Cionn

Buzwaldo

mod note - all dealing/offers to be done in thread, this is only what's fair for other posters and is clearly stated in the charter:

All discussions to take place in-thread – NO OFF-THREAD DEALING - to keep everything completely above board, and visible to all interested parties, all discussions and/or negotiations must take place in-thread. In particular there should be no PM discussion/dealing.

if we believe the item is being sold off-thread, we'll treat it as an externally advertised item, which would result in thread deletion.

Cionn

Thanks for the clarification, no deals have been done off thread. I will give it one more day before advertising elsewhere

The OP made it clear what the price is, as he can return the bike, so there is no ‘dealing’.
I thought, and stated, that it might suit a buddy of mine (who is not on boards). I requested contact details by PM so my buddy might or might not arrange to see the bike.
Apologies if this was inappropriate. I felt I might be helping two people out.
