comfortable and fast

I bought the Roubaix after riding it because it was a much more comfortable distance bike than my Allez. At first, I thought it was slower than my Allez, but the Garmin doesn't lie, the lack of road vibration being transmitted to me had me fooled and I consistently picked up .5 MPH on my average while getting a more comfortable ride and felt better after my rides. great bike for going fast in comfort.
