I did ride the Ruby but found it somewhat unresponsive when you want to get out of the saddle and go for it.

Also, any toe overlap issues?

Thanks again.
Well, I have only ridden it for 25 miles... so my feedback might not be too valid...????

I love it, thus far. It is a more aggressive bike, and it feels fast.

Too much bike? How is that? Not sure if it's too much bike. For me, I just wanted a road bike that I got on, and was WOW'ed by the ride. The Tarmac did that for me.

If you want to race... it will NOT be too much bike.

I went a few "hills" (in Texas, it's more like an incline!)... and I was fast. The bike was easy going up! Great going down too.

Toe overlap? Not sure what this is. Sorry.
