After I called the LBS to check on my girl, I finally brought her home today. She's smooooooth, dark, and oh so fast. She's a temptress, a siren, and I named her after Mrs. Will Smith.
Meet Jada:
She is a Specialized Roubaix Elite Compact. We have much to discuss together. She's going to teach me the finer points of a double as well as the pleasures of riding carbon fiber.She's one spirited, sexy babe!

I like the little orange accent on the top tube and down tube. I can't wait to take her out for a long ride tonight. Getting a new bike is like Christmas morn!
Kaybee, I forgot it's a holiday weekend.

She's awesome! I like the orange stripe too. I just got the same bike in a 2006 model a few days ago. I absolutely love it. Sometimes I just sit and stare at it
Have fun on your new ride...

Oh my! That bike looks like she has quite a few things to say!
