Hi I'm more of a reader than a conributer but asked on here a few months ago about my first road bike and bought a used Claud Butler from a member off here. It's been a good bike and in the few months I've had it I've probably covered 1000 or so miles.
I've now been offered a Specialized Roubaix 2013 which looks like new and I'm told has done less than a 100 miles the purchaser bought it, couldn't get used it and traded it in. The bike is being sold by a bike shop so there shouldn't be a problem with any warranty.
Anyway I'll get to the point. I'm taking it out for a ride on Thursday evening and apart from being comfy what else should I be looking for? I've deliberately not put the asking price but would like to hear what you think I should be paying. It has had a wheel upgrade but I can't remember what to but will find out and amend the post.
So if you have experience of this bike can you please comment and advise.
Thanks
