Anyway, I think if you wanted to go for a longer ride, as long as you left something as collateral they would be okay with it as long as you were upfront about how long of a ride you wanted to take. They want you to be super happy with your purchase so you keep coming back to them over and over and send others, and getting the perfect bike is part of that.

I just got the Dolce (white and yellow) and I love it! Gorgeous bike, beautiful ride, a huge step up from my mom's 35lb mountain bike.
Hipersons...Great to know that their are women close by. I drove over the bridge and started around Agawam and Suffield. It was a fun ride. I am still venturing and being a transplant to New England I am still learning the back country roads. Funny, you find that all the years of driving a car generally taking the most direct route. Now, I look for the quietest way to get to the same place on a bike. Let me know if you have any good rides in the area. I'll check out the lake!

I have been serious about the Dolce. Still unsure about the model...what I really need. The Ruby and the Dolce seem like two very different animals and the price reflects the carbon frame. This is a big learning curve. I talked to the shop and they will be happy to fit for a longer ride. Where did you shop?
