Specialized Ruby Comp

[Trekhawk]

Well . . . took a test ride on the Ruby Expert today!
LOVED the ride! Better than the Ruby Comp.
Bought the Bike!

Oh my Gosh! Can't belived I did it! bikerHen

CONGRATULATIONS BikerHen. I expect to see the lovely new bike on a ride somewhere in the future. Perhaps LRRH next year??

Pictures Please.

I'm taking, no riding, the bike to the LBS tomorrow morning to switch out the handle bars and then pictures will be taken and posted.

This is such a lovely bike. I hope I'm worthy.

Trekhawk, LRRH is on my list for next year. I'm working on bring my daughter and a co-worker that I've inspired to start riding. Plus, it's more and more likely I will drive to So. California this December and the bike will definitely be coming with me. We'll be coming right through Sacramento. That's not too far from your foothills.

Attn Southern California TE'er: This is an offical notice that I will be in Hemet, CA the first week in January. I HOPE someone will be able to go for a ride. bikerHen

Congratulations on your purchase. You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her! It took me about a month to feel "worthy" of mine, but then I decided that I was "worthy" of anything I could pay for. Can't wait to see pictures!

Mate you are definitely worthy of this bike. Ride and enjoy.

Sacramento is only about an hour or so from me so I would love to come down and ride with you. PM me when your trip gets a little closer and we will make plans and see who else from Northern California we can rope in for a ride.

Rode down to the LBS, got the handle bars and computer changed out. Rode part of the way on my usual commuter route. WOW what a difference. Although I spent the whole ride worried about getting a flat without my Gatorskins. And when I got home, I had indeed nick a tire, but it didn't cause a flat. We'll change those out tonight.

I did end up with the compact double. It doesn't come with the triple option for '07. I made it up my evil commuter hill OK, and tried a couple of small hills on the way home and did OK with those too. I have a double crank tattoo on my shoulder, so maybe this compact double is my destiny. But enough talk, here's the pictures . . . enjoy!

oh she's PURDY!!!!!!!!!!!! (the triple wasn't an option for any of the ruby version last year either... i bought the triple dura-ace to have it put on cuz i'm a hill climber!!! lol!)

(p.s. i like the specialized pro tires! i've replaced my used up ones twice now with them cuz michelin pro's don't come in solid black!!!)
