This is my current bike, a standard 2006 Specialized Roubaix Comp with a Powertap Mavic Cosmic Carbone 50mm & Rolf Vector Pro front wheel.
Total weight 9kg exactly, so it's pretty hefty. I bought it 4 years ago and didn't have the intention to race back then, now I am I need something far better. I've tried road racing this year, and in the past some hill climbs, and it's just too heavy.

I've just bought a new frame, most bits are due to be swapped over plus taking a few components from my old TT bike, with weight saving in mind.

I'll post a new pic when it's finished :)

The long term intention is to get something light enough to compete in Hill Climbs towards the end of this year. So will be getting new seat post, saddle, bars, shifters & wheelset.
