Thanks ladies,

I no longer have the technical specs for my 51cm 07 Ruby so my husband will measure it. I know we have a shorter Specialized stem that he brought home when I thought I might change it out when I got the bike, but then thought it felt fine. I get no pain or anything and have 6000 miles on the Ruby. Now riding the Dolce I can feel just a more comfortable difference.

I won the bike at an organized ride that I was volunteering at. Although I was not much help because I got an aweful virus that day and wound up laying down in our van. My husband told me to buy 1 ticket and I did. My girlfriend came to drag me out of the van to claim the bike. Mind you, I never even win a scratch off lotto so this was just very unbelieveable for me.

I will give you an update when we change the stem.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

JoAnn
