Specialized Roubaix Comp with Shimano 105 Groupset
This Specialized Roubaix Comp with naked carbon fiber is a standout endurance road bike that blends comfort, performance, and value. It was designed for long rides on varied pavement, from smooth tarmac to rough country roads with Specialized’s innovative Zertz vibration-damping technology.
Key Features:
• Frame & Fork: Lightweight FACT carbon fiber frame (triple monocoque construction in a compact race geometry) with Zertz elastomer inserts in the seatstays and fork. This setup absorbs road buzz while maintaining excellent power transfer and handling. The slightly relaxed endurance geometry provides a comfortable, upright riding position ideal for long days in the saddle.
• Drivetrain: Reliable Shimano 105 10-speed groupset throughout. This includes 105 shifters (STI, flight-deck compatible), front and rear derailleurs, and brakes. Equipped with a compact crankset (typically 50/34T) paired with a 12-27T cassette for versatile gearing that handles climbs and flats with ease. Smooth, precise shifting that was top-tier for its era.
• Wheels & Components: Aluminum 700c wheels (often Mavic or similar), Specialized handlebars and stem, carbon seatpost, and a Body Geometry saddle for all-day comfort.
• Brakes: Shimano 105 dual-pivot rim brakes for confident stopping power.
The Roubaix Comp excels as a versatile “do-it-all” road bike—fast enough for group rides or gran fondos, yet plush enough for centuries on imperfect roads. It helped popularize the endurance category with its balance of compliance and efficiency.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider looking for a proven classic or a newcomer seeking a comfortable, reliable road machine, this Roubaix Comp delivers timeless performance with legendary Specialized quality.
Bike is in good and undamaged condition, well-maintained and never crashed. Just replaced with a newer Roubaix.
