Does anyone know anything about this bike? Do you like/hate it?
Bicycling Mag is pretty enthusiastic about it an it seems to have a lot of what I'm looking for--mix of Dura-Ace and Ultegra components, carbon frame...though I may want to put on smaller brake/shifters, lower gearing and maybe a triple. I ride on my low bars a lot so I'm not a WSD type. My current bike is a heavier touring bike that I've beat up w/5000 in the last 2 years, so I want something lighter, faster and more durable. I've tested the Ruby and wasn't a good fit, though I tried many different sizes of men's and women's. Basically wanted to feel like I was leaning more forward than it was letting me.
Any advice here?
