Are you sure? SL4 is a higher spec carbon layup than SL3. Why would it be cheaper?

I honestly thought the SL3 roubaix was a higher grade carbon... but it does not seem to be the case for the comp

I will see if I can find out what the situation is with that.. weird

I'm LOVING my Roubaix SL3 Comp, which is radically better than my old 2006 Roubaix. Tempted to upgrade to an SL4 next year so why is the '14 SL4 Comp £300 cheaper than the '13 SL3 was? (£2200 vs. £2500)

I'm also seriously impressed with the Campy equipment on my pal's Orbea and am wondering what a Roubaix SL4 with Campagnolo would be like? I guess you'd have to buy the S Works frame and build it yourself? Would my Ksyrium SL wheels take a Campy cassette?

You could just run them with the Shimano cassette as long as it's the 10 speed Campy gear you were looking at.
