Thanks ya'll!!! I rode with a fellow this w/e that has an Allez sport and is selling it for a Serotta (?) it is steel and he says it's a much more comfy bike for distance.

AND, the Jamis is lighter than the Serotta. The Xenith is much more bike than I need or want to spend the money on it just happened to be the color I wanted

OK, I will definately check into the Jamis then, I believe I can get a comparable bike to the Roubaix for less and a steel frame!

thanks again.
