Roubaix Pro Frame

I've got a roubaix pro. It's an awesome frame. Comfortable, light, stiff where it counts and has been very durable.

I have a chance to buy a Specialized Roubaix Pro Frame (2004) at a unbelievably low price. I've always wanted a carbon bike and plan to build it up bit-by-bit as finances allow.

Has anyone got any info they'd like to share on the frame, good or bad.

If you don't buy the frame or your source has more than one, let me know. I'm looking for a good price on this frame set. Thanks

Good point, how much is it, what size, and where? If you don't want it, I might buy it and build it up.

Size is 56. Approx US$800 brand new... but it's not in the States. But if I don't buy it, which is extreamly unlikely, I'll PM you both with the dealers contact.

The reason that it's so cheap is another customer has a 54 frame and wants to buy the group, wheels, bars etc. Sweeeeet!

do you ride a colnago?

I have a beautiful old steel colnago with friction campy super record. I'm building a colnago track bike now, piece by piece. Used to have a few beautiful italian frames back in the day when I was racing. It was a lot easier when the team was buying them for me🙂

It might be worth it to buy it, build and sell it. You may be able to make money on it, depending on the local market. But if you buy it, I think you'll be pretty happy. I built mine up from a frameset too.

I don't think any one here would buy it. Most of them think I'm nutz for buying it... and the frame is just the start. I have some parts that I purchased (with the aim of building an all, or near all, carbon bike) on special, closeout or loss-leader. I have a Fi'z:ik Arione saddle and a FSA carbon compact crank so far. Not much I know... but it's a start.

Buy the way way would you guys recommend I use for wheels, gruppo etc.
