I've been looking for my first road bike in the $1k-$2k range for weeks now. I know we're peak season, but I live in the NYC metro area and I've learned the hard way that bikes are valued more here and I've watched more than a few bikes sell for much more than my "research" (BBB and reddit) has said they are.

I found a 2025 Roubaix comp and want to know if this is something I shouldnt pass up on. It is definitely more than I originally intended to spend, but I can technically afford it

I will be coming from a Sirrus X 2.0 that I've been using for years. Unfortunately it just isn't enough for the 40-80 mile days I want to do. I found this bike on facebook, its kind of the only relatively modern one anywhere near me, anyone have an idea of the value?

The Comp was listed for $2000 and the Base for $1800-- I got both down to $1500. I am looking to get my first real road bike as the Sirrus X I've used for years just isn't enough for the 40-75 mile days I desire to do.

I am open to the possibility that neither of these are good deals, but on FB around me most bikes are a lot older and I am eager to get a nice bike this summer so I can start using it...
