I received notice that my ex-husbands Aunt Sonny died and left a trust to both me and my son, although I've been divorced from my husband for 30+ years AND he died (at the age of 38) in 1989. I had never met this Aunt, but my she was my ex-FIL's sister and I stayed close to him until he died. So...out of the blue I received this money. Soooooo....what to do? First, I went out and bought my first new bike in 18 years. I've been riding my Specialized Hardrock (1997) and my Specialized Dolce (2005) forever and love both of them.....but, being open minded I went out today and test road several different road bikes, but, for my size (about 5'1" when I stretch) and my longer than normal leg length, I ended up with...another Specialized, but a Ruby Elite this time.
I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow. I needed them to do a few adjustments to it, and I actually went up in Frame size which surprised me. But it feels soooo good! Plus, I think the hand issue I've had pretty much forever might be alleviated with the larger (50) frame and the carbon frame.
I'm very excited!!!!!
P.S. I'm giving my Specialized Hardrock which I've converted to a commuter bike to my best friend hoping to convert her to cycling:)
