The Specialized Roubaix (as sundial mentioned) is another fine example of a "plush" road bike...as opposed to the more "race-oriented" Specialized Tarmac. Giant version of a plush bike would be the Avail (women's) or Defy (men's)...versus their more aggressive race bike, the TCR.
That's what I thought. Thanks.
