Hey Kelowna Girl, I have a sweet Colnago which all the bike guys said "fit" me perfectly, but the geometry on my (much more affordable and all carbon) Ruby is sooooo much a better fit. My Ruby soaks up road chatter and was fabulous on my first leg of America by Bicycle trip (Oregon coast to Jackson Hole) last summer over some pretty rough roads, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. We rode 80 to 100+ miles a day - the Ruby was great! My $$$$ Colnago feels like a school bus by comparison, and is only ridden as my back up bike now.I would want to ride both bikes in the correct size before deciding.(easier said than done, I realize!).
