Like the others who've responded, I love my Ruby! Mine is a 2006 Ruby Comp. It's my first road bike, and when I bought it I didn't really know anything about bikes (and hadn't yet discovered this forum). I'm embarassed to say, the main factor that influenced my purchase at the time was frame color and vanity. All the other women's bikes I was seeing had some kind of pastel color scheme...with my coloring I look *horrible* in pastels and I didn't want to ride a color I wouldn't wear.

Thankfully, the bike fits me well and it's a smooth dream to ride. If I'd have known how much I was going to enjoy it, I'd probably have gotten a higher-end model for the better components. But, I ended up upgrading the wheelset which has really improved the ride quality, and the 105 components are working well so I'm not in too big a rush to replace them. Now if I could just find a comfy saddle...

Anyway, whether or not you'd enjoy a Ruby will depend on whether the bike geometry fits you...but if it does, it's a pretty nice option!
