Genesis Datum vs. Specialized Roubaix

vorsprung · 2016-07-31T13:09:44+01:00

Bit of a comparison of two bikes I've been riding on audax events, the Genesis Datum "Gravel" bike and the Specialized Roubaix https://audaxing.wordpress.com/2016/07/31/gravel-vs-cobbles-two-bikes-for-long-distance/ But which is best? Both of them. BTW I know that the Roubaix is available with disks, often ride with AUK champ Mikey who has these

very similar bikes. I tried

very similar bikes. I tried both and found the roubaix was slightly too upright a riding position for me (no doubt I could have tinkered with it to improve things). if I could have got the datum frameset in white I would have bought one, not a fan of the stealth black.

oh and it’s “disc” not “disk” 😛
