Any S-Works Roubaix TEAM GEOMETRY owners around?
Moderator: robbosmans
I’ve been thinking about buying the S Works Roubaix Team frame for quite a long time now but I hesitate to pull the trigger because I see them quite regularly coming up for sale in as new condition, which leads me to assume that a lot of owners could not cope with the geometry (in comparison: I haven’t come across that many sales offers for the regular Roubaix 2020 model).
This makes me wonder whether there is something wrong with the geometry, but looking at the numbers it seems to be almost exactly the Tarmac geometry (which is also what Specialized say) and a lot of people like the Tarmac.
Unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to test ride it since it only comes as a frameset.
It would be great if some owners could chime in (or anyone who has ridden it)!
Thanks

If there is a bike I wouldn't hesitate to buy it's a S-Works Roubaix Team Haven't seen any ads of them to be sold used so maybe just in your network? For me it's the benchmark frame for every bike I'm thinking of.

I’ve just bought a 53cm team edition and hope to build the bike this weekend if I get time. I’m building the bike with SRAM Red AXS, Roval CLX32 wheels and RapidAir tyres. I’ll post some photos of the build and will let you know how it rides in a few weeks

Looking forward to seeing it. Wasn't even aware this geometry was an option.elephant8869 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 9:57 pmI’ve just bought a 53cm team edition and hope to build the bike this weekend if I get time.

The nomenclature is also a bit confusing: While size 57 is essentially a size 56 with a lower headtube and hence lower stack and slightly longer reach, size 53 is not actually size 52 but a size 54 with the respective modifications (regular size + 1 in the former case, but - 1 in the latter).loudtiger wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 2:45 amLooking forward to seeing it.

I saw your posts, bike looks great! I am slightly concerned that in my case the drop between saddle and handlebar will be too big. If I remember correctly your saddle hight is 76, mine would be 77. However, it really is difficult to judge without trying. You don't use a "hover" bar with rise, do you?
PS: And I don't want the stem to be too high up (which kinda puts me in regular roubaix territory...)
I had a Roubaix team on a long term test. Loved it; its like a comfy Tarmac. I think its a brilliant bike
I think that, and the Pro Geometry Domane would actually be the best sort of bikes for a lot of riders

I saw/read that. Really liked the way it was put together with the enve wheels. But that seat post looked mighty scary. May I ask what your saddle height was?
While (for teh same reasons) I cannot comment on the fit of what would then be the Domane SLR RSL (?), I certainly agree concept-wise and also regarding the looks of it.
Hmm, now I see why there isn't a pro team geometry for size 52 or 49.
5cm head tube + 6cm FutureShock=11cm headtube of Tarmac would look stupid and not structurally sound.
I thought the Future Shock was ~ 6 cm high only if the higher head tube cover is used (which adds 1,5 cm).
I tested a 57- my saddle is 820mm
I will be getting a 59 next

Yes, I've got higher head tube cover, and classic handlebar (hover looks crazy ).JMOS wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:20 pmI thought the Future Shock was ~ 6 cm high only if the higher head tube cover is used (which adds 1,5 cm).
Any news on the build? Would love to see some pictures!elephant8869 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 9:57 pmI’ve just bought a 53cm team edition and hope to build the bike this weekend if I get time.
