I am in the market for a new bike (finally!) and I am really leaning to the 2006 Ruby Expert. I know I want full carbon and don't want to spend more than $2500. Since my budget is kind of low for full carbon, the Ruby is the only choice I have where I can still get Ultegra.

The LBS I prefer has the 2007 Cannondale Synapse and I plan to test ride it, but it is 105. The budget cannot be stretched to the Synapse with Ultegra ($3k).

Now that some of you have been riding the Ruby awhile, do you still love it? I want to test ride this weekend, but it is Christmas! Boo hoo, maybe before year end.
