I like the Dolce -- I don't own it, since the fit wasn't quite right, but I like it. My bike is the Roubaix -- pretty close to the same size, but a longer top tube. PERFECT might have been something in between, but I really like it a lot! (or it might just be that the saddle's still a bit off...)

Now, I don't think that the Dolce is going to guarantee you'll get up the hills, but my Roubaix made a difference -- and eventually, I learned how to get up the hills using it! (it took a while, even with the bike) If you DO find yourself walking the Dolce up some hills, you'll have a much easier time pushing it up!
