Good price for that. Cheaper than buying frame then 105 groupo. 58cm only. Probably why it is cheap.Or buy the version of the Roubaix with 105 and save the hassle
What size do you need?
58cm

No one can answer your q about what gears to get without knowing a lot more about you.Glad I found this thread,I'm viewing a Roubaix Sl4 this week and I had this dilemma for a few weeks,I finally thought well I can upgrade to 105 as previous posts do say,if I purchase it I will see how long I can do on the sora,any suggestions on what 105 ratio to get and what about ultegra if I get it in the sales,sounds strange as I have not even bought the bike but I'm thinking that an upgrade would be an option worthwhile in the future
The 11sp 105 (5800) is nearly as good as the Ultegra. I have Ultegra 6800 on my Roubaix (ugraded from the old 105/tiagra mix sold with the bike) and 105 5800 on another bike. The 105 is crisp and smooth and very quiet when shifting so very similar to the Ultegra. Brakes are maybe not quite as good but that could just be me. I went for the 52/36 chainset and 11-32 cassette, which I find to be the best combination. Low enough for my old knees to get up the steepest hill and high enough to get a good speed downhill or on the flat.Glad I found this thread,I'm viewing a Roubaix Sl4 this week and I had this dilemma for a few weeks,I finally thought well I can upgrade to 105 as previous posts do say,if I purchase it I will see how long I can do on the sora,any suggestions on what 105 ratio to get and what about ultegra if I get it in the sales,sounds strange as I have not even bought the bike but I'm thinking that an upgrade would be an option worthwhile in the future
