BikerHen -

I have the Ruby Expert & it's an amazing bike! Took a little getting used to the compact double compared to the triple I had on my Allez, but now I wouldn't trade it for anything! I didn't particularly care for the saddle at first, but once I bought some better shorts (Sugoi RS Flex), I've been perfectly comfortable, so I haven't changed it out.

When I was shopping, there was only one store in the Houston area that even had a Ruby in stock - it was a Comp & I tried it and was amazed at how nice it was. But, it wasn't quite the right size for me (54 & I really needed a 56), so I went ahead & ordered the Expert (figured that way I wouldn't want or need to upgrade it for a very long time) & I'm very happy with the bike!

Unfortunately, I don't get to ride nearly as much as I'd like to, but when I do, it's a great ride! Much smoother than my Allez & definitely much lighter!

I hope you enjoy your ride!
