Here's a picture, I don't know the year...maybe the picture is indicative?

2005, maybe? http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...mola&Type=bike

It figures that 2005 is the only model year whose picture won't load!

Definitely 05, I found the picture here: http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?m...oducts_id=6383

It's exact! Thanks! Now to compare the measurements to my Dolce...

Is there that big of a difference between women's specific and non-women's specific?

Edit: Still wondering about the price...he says it was 1300 new, is 550 a good price for a 5 year old bike?

BTW, I have that bike and it is a great ride! Extremely responsive and feels racy, the steel kills a lot of the road buzz. I paid $500 for mine used off craigslist a couple of years ago. The 105 on that particular bike works fantastic. It works as good as my Ultegra its just a few grams heavier and not quite as fast to shift. You would only notice that if you were planning to race with it though. The only thing I want to change is the crappy crankset that came with it, surgino, weighs a ton!
