    I was considering the specialized and my LBS guy suggested a Masi, can't remember which one though.
    Good luck!

    I highly recommend the Specialized Ruby Expert. I've had it for just over a year and it's been a fabulous and fast ride, a great climber and looks great, imo

    My LBS guy did a fantastic job with the fit, he did swap out the stock stem with a Bontranger Race Lite. My bike is a 54cm.

    I too have short legs and a long torso. I have a 49cm Lemond Reno and it's been great for me.

    Previously, I had a "crunched" feeling between my shoulders when I rode SilverSon's 50cm Trek Pilot for any distance.

    The LBS really pondered the recommendation, but concluded that I needed the shorter vertical height and extended horizontal distance. I've not regretted the decision one bit.
