I had a 2005 Specialized Dolce Comp & I now have a 2007 Specialized Ruby Pro and love them both. I had sold my Dolce and now kicking myself as it would have made a great winter bike.

I love both bikes, the main difference in the two is the Ruby being carbon fiber I get a more forgiving & smoother ride.

If you can the best bet is to try them I see for yourself what feels best. Both are good reputable companies. My family and friends just love what Specialized offers in a bike for the money & we seem to be more comfortable on them.
