Specialized Roubaix Sport vs Trek Madone

I do not recommend you looking for a new bike within that budget. Bikes depreciate rapidly, and you should take advantage of that.

The Madone is a bit heavy and getting the handlebars on is expensive. If you are not sure on clip on aerobars, a TT bike is not an option at all.
