Thanks.
This is going to sound silly, but remember...this is just me. I've been a powerlifter & pro bodybuilder since 1996. So...because of the extra muscle & power that I already have, the Roubaix just didn't feel as fast & stiff as I thought I'd like. If I wouldn't have ever ridden the Tarmac, I would have definitely gotten the Roubaix. The Roubaix was definitely more comfortable. The crappy chip seal roads we have around here were really dulled by the Roubaix. The Tarmac...is a speed machine...pure muscle. That's what my body knows. It just felt right for what my body knows & has been doing these past almost 15 years.

So...as for the WSD. I went in & tried out a Ruby & Amira. They both felt like I was really squished up for some reason. Hopefully I didn't make a huge mistake with the Tarmac. They changed out the stem for a much shorter one & it seems perfect. We went for a 50+ mile ride today and it felt great(ish)...I've never ridden that far before. The Jett saddle was a little uncomfortable. I've never ridden on it before. Maybe it's just going to get some getting used to. Anyway...I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with the Ruby or Amira though. I'd give them a try if you're looking into one.
