Thinking about buying a Specialized Ruby Comp

[caligurl]

You can't have 700c wheels on a really small frame because then your toes hit the front wheel too often when you're turning or cranking up steep hills...the dreaded "toe clip" syndrome.

WRONG! my 48 ruby pro has 700c wheels and i don't have toe overlap.... (you were correct aggie_anna! )

as far as handling.... i've had no problems with handling my ruby! she's a dream to ride!!!!!!

i can still carry 2 water bottles on my frame! i have t to use side entry cages... but that's ok... they are curvy and pretty and look great on ruby!!!!! (and they are the large red polar bottles!)

i did have to get a shorter stem and a different saddle *sigh*..... the jett was just a HORRIBLE seat for me! so purdy... but sooooooooooooooo not for my tukis!

specialized has done a LOT of work on women's bikes... that's one company that doesn't just paint it pink and call it womens!!!!!

as for custom.... i'm so glad i didn't let that twit make me a bike like i orginally planned... she insisted i needed 650's and i was adament i didn't want them.... so i ended up with ruby..... i'm SO glad now i didn't go custom!!!! (or at least that i didn't go custom with the twit! lol!)
