Men's road bikes

[KSH]

Hey, I have a Specialized Tarmac Expert. Yes, my bike is a man's bike.. XS.

I can tell you that it is an aggressive frame/fit. He is not going to like it if he has lower back problems I don't think. It's fast and peppy but not made for comfort at all. It's a racing frame. I'm pretty stretched out on mine and have lower back pain from the position from time to time.

The Robaix is less aggressive and built more for comfort.

I know you weren't asking about this, but just figured I would throw my experience with the Tarmac out there.

Thanks KSH - both good points to consider. I'll steer more toward the Roubaix.

My husband just got the Specialized Roubaix Pro. It is made for comfort but also for speed. I think Tom Boonan won Paris Roubaix with his Sp Roubaix. My husband also suffers with back problems. It is worth a trial ride so he can see for himself.

He rode one yesterday and loved it. He WAS going to try the Trek Madone before he made his decision but after he saw 3 of them at the Group ride today, he decided not to.
