Cali;
Do you know if they sell dear sweet ruby "frame only"? Web site does not say or at least my 1/2 brain could not find it!

broke, yet having bike wishes
ok - so I gotta ask, if you were only using 1/2 your brain to look for it.....what was the Other 1/2 of your brain doing??Quote:

Thinking of relegating my Spesh Allez Elite to a winter hack next year - so on the lookout for something new and pretty!
I'm fast developing bike envy - love the colour.
You must be so thrilled - looks like you'll have lots of happy times together!
Also love the sound of the side loading bottle cages, mine is a compact frame and I have real problems with large sized bottles - would ideally love to carry a couple of 750ml bottles, but limited at the minute - side loaders would be just the trick.
I tried and tried with the BG Avatar saddle that came with my Elite, but we never bonded and I ended up replacing it with my trusty Dolce. Shame because the Avatar matched the paintwork! But comfort wins over looks when your arse it at stake!
Speaking of which - you look uber-skinny to me - lose any more weight and you'll be blown away in those winds!
Bugger!
Have researched the Ruby, but it seems that only the Comp is available in the UK/NZ.
You girls in the US are so lucky sometimes! Still, at least I'm being forced to show restraint!
Would really love to check out the Expert - as I think the price might be a bit more agreeable and I'm drawn to the compact chainring, as the range of gears are lower than the Pro, without having to convert to a triple.
What a PRETTY little lady you have there! I'm JEALOUS! Makes my little Specialized Dolce downstairs look downright dowdy! Of course like a good mom, I love my baby too. No matter WHAT she looks like! :D
Woah ... your picts had me drooling all over my table :p
Enjoy the bike !
i've never noticed it on their site either.. as being available "frame only".... like a few of the other frames are... so i assume it's not available that way... at least not now!Quote:

lol... i'm not uber-skinny! i think i'm the only person who took up cycling and gained weight! i was just complaining to hubby yesterday... and he reminded me that i'm lifting heavier weights.. so yes... scale-wise.. i'm sure that some of that increase is muscle! but the rest is the cheating i've done cuz i've been riding.. it's so easy to say i can have the in n out burger.. or coldstone ice cream... or movie popcorn.. cuz i'm riding, after all! :rolleyes:
i'm SERIOUSLY considering putting a dolce saddle on my ruby... my tushie was SO sore after my century on saturday! the saddle may look nice.. but it's more important that my tushie not be that sore! that was also the first time i haven't been able to ride the day after a century cuz i was still so sore!
