Spesh Roubaix - what are it's rivals?

[Andrew Br]

That's an incredible amount of spacers for a 'custom' frame..?

Yes, the position is still being sorted out. By the end of next week, I expect the bars to be two spacers lower.

Assuming you've seen the 2013 Roubaix.

Hard to compare it with anything else until they are launched. Nice to see disc brakes on it. Assume that pricing will be consistent across the range, especially as there is also a Secteur with disc brakes for £1k

I like the look of that Secteur Sport. I was thinking of getting a Tricross for commuting on but that looks like it might be more suitable. Then again I already have a slightly upgraded Secteur 2010 Sport so I might have 2 pretty similar bikes but that maybe is not a bad thing. If it has the 2013 Sora shifters on it with the paddle downshifters as opposed to the older thumb shifters that my Secteur had (until I upgraded) I would be pretty happy with it.

I saw a 2013 secteur in the brum concept store, it had the new sora with the 2 lever shifters. Looked very nice, should sell by the bucket on ride to work schemes.

Looks MUCH better in the metal, not sure if its carbon rear stays but they do have zertz in.
