Got Specialized Roubaix Comp off ebay last week.

It's a 2008 bike but is absolutely immaculate. When I picked up, the bloke told me he had only ridden it once on the road, just used it in a turbo trainer a few times. I believe him, its hardly turned a wheel.

It is absolutely original, still had the clear plastic sticker on the rear mech. It was £620 and that included a turbo trainer and a pair of Look pedals, with 2 sets of cleats.

The yellow warning and Evans sticker have gone now and it looks a lot neater.

I reckon it is about the best £620 I have spent on a bike.

conservatory is in a criminal state of neglect, weeds need sorting and ... is that a jerry can of petrol ?

Good work on the priorities ! 😀

Only if it fits you but if it does I agree you've got a stonking bargain there.

Just wait in six months time there will be a glut of hardly used bikes on the market as people who got caught up in the Wiggins effect and bought bikes only to realise how hard cycling actually is get rid of them.
