It's one of the few saddles that is available in a wide size that DOESN'T have a metric crap-ton of padding, which I think is great. I found it too flexible for my liking, but a lot of people like that.

the bike, I'm sorry I didn't know there was a saddle. I had a longer post but my computer ate it so i shortened it. I guess I didn't clarify it properly. I looked at the ruby elite compact yesterday and wondered about it. thanks

I have one (the Pro 2007) and love it. It handles well along with riding great over bumps in the roads.
My husband rides the Roubaix and my son the Tarmac. We find Specialized bikes fit us well and offer a well built bike & components for the money.

I have an '08 Ruby Pro and absolutely love it. It's lightweight, easy to control, and lots of fun to ride. The D4W setup works great for me (5'2", long legs, short torso -- 48cm frame), but make sure you test one first to see if it's right for you.

Another Ruby gal here. I have the Expert and it really is a great ride. DH has the Tarmac and loves it as well. I did upgrade the front chainrings and crankset to Ultegra. The year that I bought came with FSA 50, 39, 30 and I wanted a 52, 39, 30. Now it looks like they come with the the Ultegra SL 52, 39, 30.
