Hey everyone, as the title says, this is a Specialized Roubaix Comp 2017 I've found on FB Marketplace going for $1650 AUD. It's on an Ultegra R8000 11-speed groupset, Ultegra hydraulic discs and just went in for a $600 servicing in June this year. It also comes with free extras, including a puncture repair kit and a saddle bag. Assuming this fits me, is it a good deal? I might head into a Specialized retailer tomorrow after work just to make sure it's the right size (although it might be difficult to judge given the different geometries of a 2017 model and newer models). Any advice is appreciated!

Road bike geometry hasn’t changed too much in the last 10 years honestly, if anything they have become more “endurance focused” than aggressive. This bike is also more “endurance focused” but you can 100% use it for racing, Peter Sagan won Paris-Roubaix with it in 2018 (and on rim brakes!). Definitely a good deal, the rear derailleur has a long cage so you can use a 32t cassette which is nice whenever you go uphill.
