New bike ideas requested

[JVJ]

Hi,

I'm interested in buying new bike to replace my 2009 Cervelo RS. I live in Marin County so spend most of my time in pretty/very hilly terrain. Geometry wise I need something along the lines of endurance/plush/comfort bikes with a 22 cm head tube, 58-59 cmd top tube and 61 cm seat tube.

Budget if very flexible. Also if you have any recommendation for cockpit group and/or wheels that would be great as well.

Thank you.

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL4, Zipp 202 Firecrest wheels, Zipp SL Stem and Bars.
If you require additional comfort add a COBL-GOBL-R seatpost and BarPhat tape
If you want to ride a super comfortable endurance bike look at the S-Works Roubaix SL4 however with its Zerts and longer seat stays it lacks the razor sharp handling and finesse of the Tarmac.

The Tarmac is what my budget went on and its an incredible bike for riding varied terrain, its really comfortable yet at home in a crit, or a climb

Roubaix SL4 is still a great-handling bike and with some decent wheels on has a fantastic mix of comfort and sharpness. I rode mine 30 miles yesterday around a small British puddle called Windermere on awful, worn-out top dressed roads and even when I was clattering over surface variations of an inch or more in height I felt comfortable. I'm 57 so a bum-in-the-air position doesn't suit me over longer rides.
