Beautiful bike! I'm going to to stop by the Specialized Women Demo Tour tonight at one of the LBS. I have the opposite problem - I love this bike (looks), but am not fond of the shop. The shop I like carries Trek and Cannondale and they do fittings. I tested a Carbon Synapse Feminine 3 this weekend - sweet ride, but I don't love the looks. Ahhh - and the price. I'm trying a Madrone next. I'm also in the boat of do I really want to spend that much money?
