More bicycle letchery

sawylThe most recent bike shop on my list of places to scour had a second hand Specialised Roubaix for a whisker under a thousand pounds and, my God, was it a bike or what. Light as anything and seriously classy. It's just a shame it was little on the small side for me — for all that I've got short legs, I'm actually quite long in the body, so it wouldn't have done my back any good at all.
So, writing off a Roubaix as a serious proposition, I'm currently thinking along the lines of something like an Allez or possibly a Trek 1.7. I think maybe I'll spend part of tomorrow, or maybe Monday if any of the bike shops are open on the Bank Holiday, doing some test riding to see what grabs me.
