I’m on a budget and came across this bike, its a specialized roubaix carbon frame. it’s listed for $550 usd. Only CON is that the paint has yellowing due to being in the sun. Is it overpriced, are these bikes good?
Good bike. As long as all mechanical components work and are not worn out then why not.

I am on a 2011 built (2012 purchased) Roubaix Elite and love it. It’s aging, but it serves very well. I recently updated the seat and the stem/handle bars to be better fit for me. You will likely enjoy it if you do get it.

good bike. offer less though. that drivetrain is NOT “dialed in.” it needs a good cleaning and relubing. i would also check the chain wear. if it is this neglected it would not surprise me if something is beginning to wear
