2013 Specialized Roubaix Carbon Road Bike with Wheel Upgrade + Accessories

[paulw77]

Hi all,

For sale is my 2013 model Specialized Roubaix road bike. I'm not 100% sure of the the size but I'm pretty sure it's a 61 so suitable for a taller rider.

The bike is the standard Specialized spec with the addition of :

• Club Roost R50 deep rim wheels.
• Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres.
• Selle Italia C2 gel saddle.
• Shimano clip in pedals
• 2 x Specialized bottle cages
• Deddacciai bar tape

Review and more details here : https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/road-bikes/specialized-roubaix-sport-compact-review

As well as the bike I will be including a large selection of accessories including :

• The original Espoir Sport Tyres
• The original Specialized Saddle
• A shorter Deddacciai stem
• Spare inner tubes
• Co2 inflator and cannisters
• Work stand for doing maintenance on the bike

Overall the bike is in great condition with a few marks here and there as you would expect from being out on the roads. As it's been a while since it's been ridden, it would probably benefit from a good service but I've given it the once over and the brakes work OK and the gears change smoothly.

I just don't get the chance to ride this any more and need the space in the garage.

A stunning looking bike as can be seen in the photos that deserves to go to a new owner so it can be ridden regularly.

Collection only (Wigan area) for obvious reasons given the amount of kit, or I could meet up within a reasonable distance.

Price for all of the above is £350. This is a huge amount of kit for the money.

I wasn't sure how to price all of this kit so I'm open to sensible offers.

Bump and price drop to £495.

If it was smaller I would have snapped it up. Loved my Spesh Rubaix. Big mistake selling it.
Good luck with the sale.

In April 2010 when i went to Harrogate to buy my Spesh Sect Elite,they sat me on a Roubaix,sadly at the time i did not have enough money to get that bike.This is a great opportunity for someone to get a great bike.

GLWS. You might wish to allay early doubt by "being 100% sure" about the size and amend OP.

Agreed.

Having said that... I thought it would be fun to try to measure it from the photo. I used the bolt spacing on the chainset for reference (assuming 110 bcd?) and rotated the picture to get the wheels lined up on the horizontal. I then drew a horizontal line across to measure a virtual top tube centre-centre. That came to just over 60 cm, so a 61 cm size does sound about right!

Which begs the question (since it would have been a measurement less prone to % error), what length are the cranks? (assume 175mm for a big boy)

@postman I remember selling you the Secteur back in 2010!
I also enjoyed looking at your photo album of your various cycling antics.
I still have my 2010 Roubaix Pro (good staff discount!) same geometry as the Secteur, best bike I’ve ever ridden.

I often tell the end of the story,which was how you had the seat post set to about a quarter of an inch to perfection and how you said go ride it,and I said no I have bought it I loved it from the minute it was wheeled out of the stockroom.

Bargain!

I guess the large size limiting those who might buy it.

 

[paulw77]

I assumed the size would on the frame somewhere but I can't seem to see it.

If anyone knows different please let me know !

I suggest measuring the virtual horizontal top tube length...
