We were just noticing that a lot of people have Speicalized bikes. Lets start a survey. I have a 2005 Specialized Roubaix Elite and love it.

I have a 2007 Roubaix Elite and a 2002 Sirrus

I just bought this Specialized bike on Friday: :D
You should see him go.
2006 Ruby Pro
2007 Ruby Expert
2008 Vita
Tuckerville, you'll be in the tour de france in no time with that bike....!!:D
I have a Specialized HardRock from...er...2000 or so?
Now I have heard people make comments about Specialized, like there's something bad about the company. What is it that people don't like about Specialized?
'07 Transition Pro for TT. have other bikes too.
I like my Transition Pro although its non-comforming to UCI reg. For UCI sanctionend events, I would need to get a morphological (sp) exemption. Nose of the bike is too far forward in relation to the bottom bracket. Thumbs my nose to UCI. blleeaaahhh!!

2006 Roubaix comp (broken)
components are now on a 2008 S-works Roubaix SL frame :D
I have an 07 Dolce. I like it mostly... I'm finding that I haven't quite gotten right with this bike yet. Maybe after a hundred mile ride (this weekend)... it feels kind of squished. I'm wondering if I shouldn't have gotten the guy version.
2005 Allez Sport - survived Katrina's flood by being in the attic of the LBS, which had 8 ft of water.
Candy Apple Red. I *think* I ride faster :D
06 ruby comp
05 dolce vita (which i just sold)
2006 Tarmac Expert - My Heart's Desire :)
05 Ruby Pro - the first year they made them and one of only 9 in my size!
I have a Ruby Expert. I can't remember if it's 05 or 06. I love it. I nearly bought a Tricross when I was shopping for an "all around" bike. There are currently 8 bikes in my home (four for me and four for my sig other) and 3 of them are Specialized.

I have an 05 Hardrock Sport:

And my baby, the 06 Dolce Elite:

Since I bought the Dolce, I haven't been on the Hardrock. I was looking at it yesterday thinking I should take it to the trail for a ride. And yes, I do have different helmets to match each :D
2007 S-Works Ruby frameset built with Campy Record... 14.3 lbs!
Aicabsolut and Bluetree, how are s-works compared to the other carbon/ultegra bikes. I was debating on one, but decided to get the Roubaix instead. Big difference in price...
I had a 2005 Dolce Comp, but I sold it to a friend. Before I moved, I still got to ride with it (if not on it)! ;)
I also have a 1993 Rockhopper. LOVE that bike even though it's so old. I bought it new and it's never failed me - still 100% original everything on it, too (except saddle).
2006 Ruby pro (now with more pink!)

No, don't tell me - the cindarella ride?Quote:

My girl is an 05 Dolce Vita.
08 Roubaix Elite comp
08 Epic comp
08 Rockhopper comp disc
08 Tarmac comp double (hubby's)
05 Sequoia
The S-works frame is amazing. So much lighter than the Comp frame. Even more comfy. FAST. I can't say enough about how awesome this frame is compared to Comp level. Would you notice it as much between Pro and S-works? I dunno.Quote:

I think the new frame is a better improvement than new wheels would've been on the old frame. Now I just need some Zipps on this baby! :D
We have family of Specialized in our garage:
Ruby Expert
Tarmac Expert
Stumpjumber comp
Rockhopper comp
2-Hardrock Sports
2005 Sirrus - great commuting bike!
2005 Sequoia Comp - great all-around bike
Here's my 08 Specialized S-Works Tarmac. His name is Falco...he's super sexy! :)

1985 Stumpjumper Sport, black. Classic lugged steel frame. I'm thinking of building it into a single-speed urban stompin' machine.
OMG! I always thought of you as a blonde jeanieish looking person like your avatar-haha but you fooled me!!Quote:

and then the BF has a 2007 Tarmac Pro and a 2007 Transition Comp
so I guess you could say we are a specialized family
I've got an 06 Allez but replacing it with a Luna as soon as she's built and the parts are going to the husband's bike as upgrades to his component set.
It just wasn't the bike for me, too big...I think for that reason I was turned off Specialized.
