Questions RE: Specialized Roubaix on FB Marketplace

[gabefoo]

Hello everyone! I’m looking to buy a bike for an iron man 70.3 (muskoka) this July, as well as partaking in general road cycling adventures. I currently do not have a suitable bike, so I was looking to get some input from those more knowledgeable than myself on this Specialized Roubaix that I found!

Please let me know if there’s further information I should convey, or if this post should be moved to another thread. Thanks in advance!

It's an old endurance bike work $300-400

It's quite an upright ride tbh and wouldn't be my choice for a triathlon.

Look at a genuine race bike or a TT bike?

Also an aero bike might be better if your wanting a good time.
Cannondale slice, systemsix, felt ar, giant propel, spez tarmac, madone, canyon aeroad all come to mind....
