Sigh.
So many bikes, so little in my bank balance.
Specialized have announced their new 2007 Designs for Women range.

I may spend a significant length of time drooling over the Ruby S-Works.

i made the mistake of looking at the dealer's book at my LBS... ya... i've been having dreams of this bike... and it's black! can i justify a new bike? (my ruby is only 8 months old!)
Just say no, Caligurl! You owe your Ruby as much!! :D
Actually, I can't say much. I upgraded from a lovely Terry Isis (demo model, though, so I didn't pay full price) to an Aegis Swift within just 1.5 years. And now I've upgraded from a Novara mtb to a Titus Racer X (used, though!!) in again, 1.5 years. :D
The first step to dealing with Bike Addiction is admitting you have a problem....

LOL - its a beauty Cali - TE may not be the best place to ask that question though as you know we love new bikes. BUY BUY BUY.......SORRY got a little excited.:D :DQuote:

BTW- I have not shown him your set up Cali. I don't want him to be inspired!
oh too funny....I heard the other day that the Ruby was coming out in Black and the first person I thought of was Caligurl. I told my husband, on no...Caligurl on the TE site is going to want that bike :)

UGH!
well... i can look at this 2 ways (maybe 3!)! i CAN'T get one... cuz there aren't enough hooks (we set up the garage for 7 bikes!)
or i CAN get one.. cuz is it FAIR that hubby has FOUR bikes and i only have THREE! AND.... so far... last year and this year... i ride MORE MILES than he does! http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/149.gif
(of course... there's also the money issue.... i'm SURE that that GORGEOUS BEAUTY isn't gonna be cheap!)
i still love my ruby.... and i even love the color now! even though black bikes still just give me the WOW factor! and the picture of that black s-works... WOW!
i wouldn't even have to buy new shoes or helmet cuz they are already black (oh... WHO am i trying to fool????? of course i'd have to have ALL NEW!)
alas... i'm destined to just dream... at least this year... hmmmmmm who knows what the 2008 season will bring??????????????
Its always good to have something hot to dream about.:D :DQuote:

If anyone has an old Bianchi that you want to sell to a blue-eyed dimple faced boy, who will take good care of it please p.m. me...he is tall so we are looking for a 54-56 frame.

awwwwww but that's a GOOD sad! he could have worse "bad" habits!!!!!Quote:

Would have to change the bar tape and saddle though, but it'd be a small price to pay.
Of course, the answer to your problem is simple - give the Ruby Pro to ME and treat yourself to the S-Works (cackles hysterically and speaks in a strange, hypnotic voice). You know it makes sense.
snappy.... snappy.... snappy! lol! you are evil with your jedi mind tricks!
(now if i could just get them to work on hubby... you and i would both be happier! :p )
A brand new LBS (Specialized/Bianchi) opened up in Santa Monica -- state of the art everything -- and they had the new Tarmac SL on display:

It was a thing of beauty... no, a work of art!
i, personally, don't care for the men's tarmac.... however the ruby..... *sigh*
