Thanks!!
The frame size is a 44. I was very fortunate to get one so quick. Maybe the lbs's owner has connections
She rode just like a dream. I took her on one of my routes and I could not believe the difference between the Ruby and my Sequoia. I haven't put my odometer on the ruby yet...but I definitely felt like I was going a whole lot faster! And the best thing of all....is that I had no lower back pain! Its incredible to go for a bike ride and not have my back talk to me the whole way. Just that makes every dollar spent on this bike worth it.

Congrats on the new bike, Clare. I got my Ruby Expert on Friday also. It rained all Fri and Sat, and I was out of town Sunday - so I finally got a 20 mile ride in yesterday! It's amazing how smooth of a ride the Ruby has (esp compared with my Dolce Elite)! The shifting is like butter, and it feels so fast. I can't wait to put lots and lots of miles on this bike! It's raining again today, so no ride, again. But she's sitting and waiting for the next non-rainy day!

congrats both on you on your new rides!! getting a new bike is almost better than - well...er....um....something! lol
soooooooooooo are there pixs heading our way?Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Congradulations to you, too, JmCG! Isn't it a great bike? I love its ride. Its so smooth and easy on the body. And you're right Corsair...there is not to much better than a brand new bike.
May there be blue skies soon, and may they stay for awhile. I'm looking forward to Thursday...I'll have some time to ride!
I'll see if I can get a picture loaded on the computer.
Happy Riding!
Clare

Hey Clare,
Congratulations on the new bike! I'm oh-so-jealous!
I just looked it up on the specialized website. I have only been bicycling for a few months on a Specialized Dolce, but I think I'll be dreaming of the Ruby now.
