After many years of riding an excellently functional Novara Randonee touring bike, Mrs. GeekCyclist gave me a significant budget to buy a new bicycle for fathers-day.
This is the result:
19 pounds of buttery-smooth carbon fiber Specialized Roubaix Comp sweetness, full Shimano 105, Mavic Open Pro wheels...Okay, so you have to be a bike person to appreciate this, but I am a bike person...and every time I look at it I want to giggle like a school girl.
Mrs. GeekCyclist would want me to tell you that this bike is named after the hometown of her royal French ancestors through Pierre Apollonaire de Roubaix. (I hope I spelled that right.)
That picture doesn't quite do it justice, so here is one 'lifted' from the Specialized site:

Nice looking bike. I want to get one of those soon. Beats walking!
Thanks,
I rode it into work today, and there is nothing better than riding past all the gas stations.
