Both my husband and I ride the Specialized Roubaix and we absolutely love them!!!! We only buy Specialized (MTN, road, tri, and cross) so of course we are bias to Specialized, but you asked for suggestions

I bought the Elite, which is one of the lower end models and it rides beautifully!!!! Of course my DH's S-works rides nicer, but I wouldn't trade mine in for anything. If you want to take a look, here is a link to their website. I previously owned a Felt F90 (aluminum frame) and the change to the roubiax (carbon frame) was definitely obvious both from a comfort and speed perspective.

I really hate bumpy roads and unfortunately, you can't avoid it, but the roubaix makes it a little more tolerable. You can read the history of the bike on the website to better explain. My roubiax takes good care of me and my wrists (I have always had wrist problems) and I plan on keeping her for a long time.

E-mail me if you have anymore questions. Like I said, I am definitely Specialized bias, but hopefully this helps you in your voyage of buying a new bike. Happy bike shopping!!!
