Specialized Ruby or Trek Madone?

[cellis]

My bike was stolen and I am getting a new one thanks to insurance! I am between the Specialized Ruby and the Trek Madone 5.2. I used to ride the Trek 5200 WSD.

Any thoughts out there?

cellis... be sure to test ride both and see which you like better... I have a friend who rides a Madone and loves it... and another who hates it! He likes how stiff it is... she hates how much of the road you feel on it...

ride 'em and which ever one feels best... THAT'S the bike! :)

Try them both, and then try a Litespeed, Luna, IF, or Seven. Then try the Madone and Ruby again...just for kicks.

buy the one that fits best... and feels best to you... and of course.. the one that makes your heart go pitter patter!

the ruby pro is really smooth on the road! i've never ridden a madone so can't comment on that!
