are you in your "cycling shoes" while testing this standover???

I do not have so much on my roadie...lots & lots on my mtbike...and just enough on my commuter (different shoes for the commuter which allowed for a higher top tube cause my shoes had more girth on the sole)....you get my point
One is a Marin Treviso - very pretty and nice components, but the 51cm is as small as it gets.

Now, this Saturday, I happened upon a new 2005 Dolce with Ultegra and Durace components! On sale for around $1000 - only catch is it's 52cm. Stand over was about 1/4 inch, so I didn't even bother riding it. Once I got home and compared the geometry stats, I saw that it is nearly identical to the Marin - soooo, if it is still there this weekend, I will at least test ride it. It is calling my name in a serious way -- and I like the looks much better than this year's model -- but I WILL resist if it doesn't fit right. I'll be taking my shoes and shorts Saturday and crossing my fingers that it's a good fit. We will see....
