.... But someone suggested I go with it (a more serious biker who can't see my less serious needs) so I test rode the Amira from the shop. For 10 miles seemed fine but glad I went with the Ruby. It's in my garage as I type. Just picked it up today and rode a short ride. Waiting for evening ride (< 100 degrees) to put some miles on it. Happy with my purchase. Well... my hubby's birthday purchase for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!
