In September 25 my garage was broken into and my Specialized Diverge, only 12 months old, along with my Wife’s and my electric Gocycles, which we used for camping holidays, were stolen.
It is a horrible feeling that someone just thinks that they can break into our home and steal our possessions that we love and have worked hard to pay for.
Fortunately, we had insurance for the bikes, although not for the camping equipment that was also taken, and although we haven’t got all of our money back, we did get a payout that at least will allow us to replace some of the stolen items.
So today I went to my local Specialized shop and and had a test ride of the Specialized Tarmac SL8 and the Roubaix SL8. On paper they cost about the same and the specifications in terms of equipment are similar but they are two very different bikes to ride!
The Tarmac is a race bike. And fun. But Harsh. The Roubaix on the other hand is more endurance based, much more comfortable and I could see myself doing many miles on it. So an order has been placed and I can’t wait to get my new Roubaix SL8 Expert in Satin Copper
