I hope you get to ride the Expert triple. My husband got the first 08 at our bike shop and it is awesome. The bike is beautiful and you won't have to do anything but ride. I am a big specialized fan and your LBS should be able to play with different stems for that perfect fit. Good luck. I have had a roubaix comp for 4 years and love it. After a broken back and hip the zertz make a difference.
