But I won't have it until the end of the week. My lbs had to order it. All weekend long Joe and I have been going from one bike shop to another as I test rode bikes. I checked out treks, cannondales, giants, and specialized. I finally narrowed it down yesterday to two. This morning I returned to Black Diamond Bike Shop and test rode my top two choices. The women's cannondale synapse femine 3 compact and the specialized Ruby expert compact and I finally went with the Specialized Ruby Expert Compact (700 wheels this time!). I am sooooo excited. I can't wait for it to arrive! Doing happy dance right now!
I ordered the carbon/gold 51cm. A perfect fit a wonderful ride! Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.
I will keep my old trek as my winter bike. Hmmmm now how many bikes will be hanging from my garage now? Let's see this Specialized will make number 8 and hubby will be getting a new road bike too. He's waiting for the 2009s and he's eyeballing either a Bianchi or Cannondale.
As soon as I pick up my new baby I will be posting pictures!
Joy joy joy!

Congrats on the new bike. I have a Ruby Expert Compact and I can't even express how much I love that bike. I sometimes feel like I neglect my other bikes because Ruby is the bike I always reach for first. I can't wait to see pics of yours!!!
