Thanks t62!

I have ridden prob 10 bikes or so and I know the 48 inch dolce is perfect for me. I have had the bike shops do the cursery fit for me. The sequioa is a 47 inch mens frame and the reach is within what I felt comfortable on other bikes.

I rode a fantastic Giant TCR 2 which was all carbon, too big, but nice ride and too expensive.

I also rode a Fuji Provence which was fine but the feel of the dolce was better. Also I rode a Lemond Reno, much better price but the shifting was "clunky" to me.

I didnt think about the wheelset so thanks for that... what is a good wheelset?
Dolce elite - Alex alx295 rims, tires are specialized all condition pro 700
Dolce sport has same as elite.
sequoia - rolf design alx 300 rims with specialized new turbo pro tires.
Does that help?

Also the dolces have carbon fork and seat post and the sequoia has carbon fork and alloy seatpost.

Thank you!
Tracy
