I'm sorry the Orbea didn't work out but the Ruby is a beauty. Finding the right bike is hard. I hope you put in many happy miles on the Ruby.

Shamu will hopefully be going to a nice new home soon. I am going to sell it. None of the local bike shops took trade-ins for brands of bikes they don't sell.

Your new bike is beautiful. I hope you get many years' enjoyment with her. We all have expensive lessons. I refer to them as tuition

That is one nice looking bike. I am curious, did you get a 51 like your dolce. I am 5'2 and ride a 51 Ruby (and really love how she rides also). I think different manufacturers measure different and that might be why there was a difference.
Lots of luck with your new bike as it is a nice welcoming to spring2012 Specialized Amira S-Works

I am ~5'4", but my legs are really long for my height and arms short (I can sometimes wear long pants, but need petite tops or the arms are looooong).
