I Did It!!!!!!!!!
I am soooo excited!! I went to my LBS to test the Ruby Elite again yesterday. Went out for about 1.5 hrs on some of my same roads. Wow, she is so light and fast!! On the way back to the shop I said to myself..."I deserve this for ME!!" Since my divorce, it has been hectic at times and the biking is my only solace and fun........soooo....I BOUGHT my new Ruby!!
It was a great fit...although I know my saddle may be an issue. I will ride a few times and measure my butt! They have an open saddle policy to be sure what I have is the best it can feel.
You guys have helped so much!! Thanks for all the advice...things to ask about...ways to test...bikes to consider.
my biggest fear was buying too much bike. But, I flew today and the hills that usually leave me out of breath were not the killers while on my wide tired Mongoose!
A very happy chic!! Jean

OOOO, the Ruby Elite! I test rode the comp and LOVED it, but it was just out of my budget. I'm sure the Elite is even better!
Congratulations on your new ride. You will NEVER regret buying it. And what is "too much bike"? With this bike you will be doing even more cycling and the bike will take you anywhere you want to go.

Well Deserved!
Great choice. A small price to pay for fun and fitness. I have a Ruby Comp and enjoy it every time I ride. We all deserve to treat ourselves especially when we are doing something so good for our health.
