Took the Carbon Fiber plunge today

[KkAllez]

I ordered a Specialized Roubaix Pro today, should be in next Friday. It took me forever to decide between the double chain ring on the Pro or the triple on the Comp. I guess I was feeling a little pumped up after my graduation from nursing school this afternoon, because I decided double ring it will be. Then it took me FOREVER to decide on pedals. I use mountain bike eggbeaters on the Allez and ultimately went with road bike eggbeaters...which took forever to chose a color, ultimately pink. Hey, I ride with guys, and I've just GOT to show my feminine side.

I'm keeping the Allez. My son's girlfriend wants to ride with my son. Tonight we had lessons on how to use clipless pedals in the driveway and on the grass. She's a sport, took a fall, and kept trying. Oh to be 16 again. (She's my size so my bike shoes and helmet fit her).

Anyways, I am excited about the new bike. Ben (who has a Roubaix Pro) and our LBS guys say that there is no comparison between it and my Allez Sport. There better be a BIG comparison for the cost difference!
