I have a Specialzed Roubaix Comp which I love but even being pretty fit my recent trips to the Lake District clearly show that I need a triple in order to make some of the passes realistic climbs for me.
I have a reasonable budget - up to around £2500 and am looking for something that is geared towards being capable of climbing as opposed to a bike with a triple bolted on.
I have discussed with the Specialized Concept store whose advice was that 'compacts have virtually made triples redundant' but for my legs this is not the case.
Any advice much appreciated.
