FS: Ruby Comp 48 cm

[JanB]

I have a new 2007 Compact Ruby Comp that has about 20 miles total on it. It's all 105 components. The full specs can be seen at www.specialized.com
Asking $1400.00 and will have my lbs pack and ship for $65.00 within the U.S. only. I have pictures-just have to figure out how to post them.

I would love to buy this bike, but alas, it is out of my budget at this time :( :( :(

Is it a double or a triple? :p

Why are you parting with it?

[JanB]

Oh, sorry. It's a double. I bought it for $1699.00 at a bike shop that was going out of business and thought I could make it fit. It's just not a good fit for me so I'm going to part with it.

A picture would be a nice touch to tempt others ;) :D

Ok, I'm tempted! But first, some questions - is it a 2007 or 2006? What didn't you like about the fit?


I really want a fast bike for the triathlons I have planned for this summer, and this one might just fit the bill!

[JanB]

It's a 2007. It's just too small for me and I should have known that. It's not that I didn't like the fit, it was just too small. It's like buying a pair of shoes that are on sale thinking they'll stretch out-they're never quite right. :) I now have a larger one and it's a great great bike. Have done some tris on it too.

Thanks for the info. I'm also looking at a bike on ebay right now, and I can't decide which I want! So, I'll think about it for another day or so and let you know (if someone else doesn't snap it up first!). I wish I could get up there and try it out (I'm actually visiting San Diego for a couple more days) but I don't think I'm going to have time, so pictures may help sway my decision. ;)

I looked at the bike on the Specialized site, and it sure is pretty!

[tjf9]

Well, I decided that this bike is a bit out of my price range, so it's up for grabs, ladies! Jan was nice enough to send me pics, and I post them here to tempt you! It's a beauty, and a great price!

[Ana]

OoooOOOOoo ::drool::

:D

I believe it's out of my price range at the moment as well...but that doesn't mean I can't look! ;) :p

I better stop looking before I decide to sell my current bike and get this one ;) I can't wait until I have a budget for new bikes :D

Are you still selling the Ruby Comp? I have tried it out on a bunch of rides already and would be very interested.

Sorry, I bought it. FYI, I am VERY happy with it. It fits like a glove (I'm 5 3 1/2) and it like butter. Really pleased.

Glad you are liking it! I will keep looking....
