the owner of my LBS called Saturday. Apparently Specialized is having a closeout sale on their 2007's as they are unvailing the 2008's

He was just calling to let me know

Well he put an order in on Monday for a variety of sizes and ordered 2 Ruby's that would be my size and he is giving me first dibs.

They are here already

I dropped by today as he was just finishing up assembling the 2007 Ruby expert. I got to lift it and put my hands on the handle bars mmmmmmm it felt pretty darn good.

the Ruby expert he could get is a triple with all ultegra components and ultegra wheels

the Ruby comp is a double with 105 components

Price: $2144 for the expert and $1714 for the comp

Now for the questions
Should I sell my first born child and pawn my second born and go for the expert which is the one I am really leaning towards or would I be perfectly happy living w/ the comp for the price difference.

From the limited research I have done these seem to be really good prices.
Are they?

My main goal is touring but I have started to do Triathlons and want a faster bike that I can put aero bars on (I don't want a pure tri bike because I wouldn't get enough use out of it and I like group riding. )

Any and all opinions welcome
