congratulations! i hope you like it!!!!
as for buying without seeing or test riding.... i did that... well... i had no choice... i put my deposit down before they were ever in the stores! lol! i did have the back out though if i didn't like the color or it didn't fit since there was no way to try one on! (keep in mind... my rave review are based on a full DA setup.... the whole drivetrain, including crank and wheels! lol!)
hope you have many, many happy miles!!!!

I also wish you a huge CONGRATULATIONS also along with many enjoyable and safe riding miles.
Keep in mind, that the Pro compact double is FSA K-Force, carbon crankset. I think it is an upgrade from the average compact double. Shifting is so much easier than it was on my Dolce Comp which was a triple.
What a wonderful way to begin Spring 07

caligurl, Jo-n-NY: Thank you both. Your input through this whole thing was invaluable. Thank you both so much. Another question. How do I care for a carbon frame. Is there anything I need to do differently in maintaining this bike? I can't wait to get her!!!

I didn't give this much thought and since I just got the bike last week, I have not cleaned it yet, although I went on 3 rides so I am going to run home and take a look and see if she should be cleaned. Anyway, I was just going to use my regular bike polish. Now you have me thinking and maybe I should ask my husband.

It's in!!!!!!!!!!
I just called my LBS and my Ruby Pro is in and ready to be picked up! But I want to go on a club ride tonight so looks like one more ride on the old Allez tonight and I'll pick up the new one tomorrow when I get off work at noon! Only one more day of suspense!!!
