Hi to all,

As winter moves into early spring here in San Diego I am drooling over the new Ruby for 2007. Has anyone tried this bike? I am an avid Specialized lover, having ridden my Specialized Roubaix Elite for about 10,000 miles in the past two+ years. Now I hope this new bike will be a bit stiffer and that will translate into easier and faster climbing and riding. It may be the
placebo effect and not as dramatic as I would hope. If any of you have ridden this new beauty I'd love to hear your thoughts apres ride.

Thanks and let's keep hoping for Spring to spring...Winter riding, even here in supposedly warm San Diego has been windy, cold and not for the faint of
heart. I guess I'm more wimpy than I'd like to admit but I sure do prefer
warmer riding than winter offers. Maybe a new Ruby will be just what
warms the heart of this rider.

Thanks!
