    Tater,

    Since you were upgrading from a Specialized bike, I'm assuming you test-rode others (maybe even the Ruby). What made the difference for you in going with the Giant TCR? Was it the fit or something else? I'm in the test-ride stage myself. Last weekend was Cannondale and Specialized. I will be looking at Trek's and Giant's this weekend. If you wouldn't mind posting your personal opinions on pros and cons of some of the other bikes you test-rode before deciding on this one, that would be great.

    Thanks, and congrats on the new bike! I hope it serves you well.

    Hey.. what does CW mean and what's the specs of the bike? Just curious.

    Edit - NM. Went to the Giant site. Nice. What's really cool is that Giant's women's bikes are designed with the help of women who ride. And 2 of them are from a local bike shop here in Northern California. Double woot.

    The W stands for Women's, but I'm not sure if the C stands for Carbon or Compact.

    Very nice looking bike. You know what they say, when you have money and are shopping, you can't find anything. Its when you didn't plan on buying something. Hey, if you didn't buy it now, it would just cost $$$ more when you bought it later. Anyways, looks like a nice purchase.

    From the website, I think the "C" means Composite.

    Congrats on it.
