    No opinion on any of your bike choices (sorry), but it's funny you posted because Joe's bike is sitting right here in front of me in my dining room. We brought a teammates bike home from our weekend trip, and it's the same Bianchi. Wow, is that one LIGHT bike. Amazing! He got it a month or two ago after his previous bike's derailleur ate his wheel and rear triangle. He really loves this new bike.

    That is funny maillotpois! And I know, it is light. I was with Joe when he sat on it and tried it out. It's beautiful and light. He is very excited about getting it! I'm happy to hear that your friend loves his!

    Thanks!

    Susan, I'm a Specialized fan and had I fit a WSD, I would've chosen the Ruby. Instead I went with a Roubaix compact double. I don't know what kind of hills you are going to climb, but we have short but steep climbs here. I think you have pretty significant grades there. Don't know what to advise about triple vs compact for you but I've been very pleased with Specialized. If you have any problems with the bike, Specialized is very prompt in correcting the problem.

    Try it, Try it, Try it. Don't judge a book by it's cover. These are all beautiful bikes and very good ones. I once bought a beautiful-looking bike without trying it and it was a piece of **^#@.
