FS: 2007 Specialized Roubaix Expert Compact Rival - XS/49cm

[celerystalksme]

Hello,

I have a 2007 Specialized Roubaix Expert Compact Rival in size XS/49cm for sale. It is completely stock spec except I changed the original white seat for the black version and I changed the white bar tape for black bar tape. I've thrown on two bottle cages (a specialized and a bontrager) and Wellgo clip pedals.

It is in great condition! I bought it last fall and the bike has less than 300 miles on it. I'm asking for $2000 or best offer. The MSRP was $3300.

Here is the bike info from Specialized: http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?arc=2007&spid=22193

That is one sweet ride :) Very tempting but a new bike like that will not be in my budget for quite some time :p

If you know anyone (that's short) that's interested, let them know I have a bike for sale! :)

I know, it's more tempting because you're in my area :p

I'll pass it on :)

One tip, you might want to check if this 49" Roubaix has the exact same (or very nearly identical) geometry to a 51" Ruby.

A lot of women are looking for the Ruby. (I have one.) One of the things that surprised me, if I recall correctly, when trying out the bikes in shops, was that the Roubaix and the Ruby are basically identical, just the 51" Ruby = 49" Roubaix, 53" Ruby = 51" Roubaix, or something like that.

The stock handlebars and saddle will be different, between the two. Ruby handlebars are narrower. Brake capilers might be too, to account for women's smaller hands; not sure.

Double-check first, but anyway, your bike might sell faster if people know they are getting basically a used Ruby...and I love how this Roubaix is RED...I would have loved a Ruby in this color scheme!!

VERY close to Ruby 51" geometry. Main difference is chainstay and wheelbase. Otherwise, pretty much identical!
