Thanks for your input. I know what you mean about the Roubaix. I love the bike, can ride for hours but it does feel a bit sluggish now that I am a better rider. I hope that the stiffer frame will translate into performance but
the bike shop says performance, especially on hills is all about weight, wheels and probably a good dose of Liking to Climb. I am not one of those love to climb a hill women. I sure wish I was because we literally cannot climb hills here in our area on San Diego. I grunt all the way up and am not having much fun if it's long and steep. I liked the Tarmac too but haven't tried one. The new Ruby is an SWorks bike so it's been upgraded from the original. It's expensive but hopefully worth the outlay.

Thanks again, Jp
