    Were you crazy-in-love with your Dolce? Are you crazy-in-love with the Trek?

    I'm a big believer that the bike you fall in love with is the one you should have.

    Get the bike that makes you giddy just to look at it, that rides like it was made for you, that you would cheefully put in your bedroom so you can gaze on it, that you would clean with a toothbrush and love every minute of it.

    Yes, I sleep with my bike...

    I don't have any advice, but I just bought a 2007 Dolce last night! It's good to know that after owning a Dolce, you're considering buying another one.

    Red face curious too!

    It is also a question of what you are going to do with it
    Are you looking for a race bike or comfort.
    Personally, I am looking for a nice bike that I can eventually race on. I have test ridden the following and here is my feedback on each:
    Unfortunately I haven't been on either the trek 1000 or 1600 which are top on my list but retailers don't seem to be carrying them in the WSD models!
    OK
    Trek Pilot WSD 1.2 and 2.1
    GORGEOUS bike, especially the 2.1 but it is a bit more expensive than what you were going for the 1.2 handled really well and was super comfy-
    you should seriously test ride this bike before making your decision
    Dolce and Dolce Comp
    I found this bike to be a bit too upright comfort for my needs and it didn't handle as well as the trek. But most women rave about their Dolce
    Canondale Synapse Feminine
    Another great bike, very great handling but Pricey compared to the others bikes with comparable parts
    Alright, that is my two cents, if anyone has ridden the 1000 or 1600 chime in

    I might be selling it, but it's just a Sequoia Eleite - not a Dolce...
    Keep calm and carry on...

    DITTO what she said!

    When I decided it was time to upgrade my road bike... I test rode around 3- 5 bikes. When I got on my Specialized Tarmac... I fell in love. I KNEW it was THE BIKE!

    And my bike is in my bedroom, next to my bed (OK, so I have a small apartment and the tri bike is in the living room... but whatever!).
