ok ladies! i asked this at another forum.. and got a plethora of good answers.. now let me bring it to you.... the same gender!

i've been dreaming about a new bike practically since i started riding! (bad me!) the main bike that has topped my dream list is a custom luna steel. however.. recently i saw, and fell in love with.. the specialized roubaix pro.

i LOVE the look of the roubaix.. i, personally think it's sleek and very sexy! however i'm concerned about fit. since i ride a WDS that doesn't fit the greatest.. (made to fit with a teenie tiny severely angled stem)... the 49 roubaix has measurement that at slightly less than mine.. so MAY work.. but getting a bike shop to bring in a 49, $4000 bike when i'm not even certain i want it.. just to try.. well... that's probably wishful thinking!

now the luna... i like that it would be custom made to fit me.. but that presents another problem.. part of the thrill of getting a new bike is how it looks... well from everything i have been able to read.. due to my size.. i will most likely end up with a bike with 650 wheels (thus my other thread!) so far i can only find 4 or 5 manufacturers of 650 wheels and i'm not thrilled with the look of any of them (ideally.. i want the dura-ace wheels if i go dura-ace and the campy eros if i go campy! ) THOSE are some purdy wheels!

but i digress... i know, logically and intelligently.. that i need to go with fit over looks... but it's hard to look at the roubaix (or even think of asking to have a luna made with 700 that no doubt won't fit as well) so that i can get the look i want....

opinions? ideas? recommendation? (other than another brand of bike.. these are the ONLY two in contention... i've looked and looked and looked... and these are the only two contenders!)

thanx, ladies!
