Sorry I missed this post. Congratulations!!! I have the same bike, my dh surprised me in March. Yes it is like riding on air, I love it!!! I plan to change the white tape when it gets dirtier, but if I can I would like the silver tape that was on my Dolce. If not, the black on your bike looks great also.
I cannot answer your question about changing the wheel size, but I will say that both my husband and I love PA. When we have a get a way, that is usually where we are headed.
Wishing you much luck with your new ride and your husband also!!!

I have the same bike! It is a great bike. I concur with Rapid Cycler...when you take the plunge... That's a high end bike for your first road bike...but if you know you've got the bug you might as well go for the gusto - otherwise you'd just be upgrading your entry level bike in a year. My poor Allez is just hanging on the bike rack feeling sad that the Ruby gets to go out all the time.

Congrats on the new Ruby. She's SUPER pretty! I love red. I also love PINK! My Baby is black and silver with pink accessories. (A picture below for your viewing pleasure.) I was also blessed to get a super sweet bike for my first one. A Cannondale CAAD9. Dh was talking about getting me a Ruby Pro or Expert, but found out what a deal we could get on the CAAD9 and couldn't pass it up. I'm so tall that I don't really need a woman specific bike, but she sure LOOKS woman specific!
Congrats on your new beauty! Now go ride it!
