Thinking about buying a Specialized Ruby Comp

[caligurl]

if the ruby fits you.... it's the perfect bike for you! i LOVE LOVE LOVE mine!

it's light for climbing..... it's comfy for long rides..... you can't go wrong with a ruby!

and i agree... it's total BS that they want to charge you to fit a bike you are buying from them!!!!!! absolute total BS!!!!!!!

The only thing I wondered about was this sentence in your post:

I also want to ride a couple of tours each season.

As long as you don't mean loaded touring, and as long as the bike fits you, it sounds like it would fit your needs. (And let us not forget how pretty it is.)

Thanks for the input everyone.
xeney, I'm not planning on any touring...just doing a couple of the local "tours"...centuries.

I just didn't want to base my purchase just on the salesperson's recommendation. Afterall, that's what she gets paid to do right? So, it sounds like this could be the bike for me if I can get a good fit. I'm kind of nervous about it. Guess I'm afraid I'll sound like a total nitwit.

Thanks again.
