    just test drive the different models and see which feels best and makes you want to get out and ride =) its not about the geometry or that stats, imho.. it's about what feels good to ride...

    I have a 2009 2.1 WSD and a 2010 Dolce Sport (not familiar with the Apex). Both are great bikes. The Trek has a bit more agressive geometry than the Specialized Dolce. From my experience, the Dolce was comfortable from day one. That was a surprise since it was my first road bike. It took a while and several adjustments to get the 2.1 just right. Also, I can tolerate the Specialized Lithia saddle, but had to change out the Trek Bontrager one pretty quickly. Definitely try before you buy.

    Enjoy,

    It should be love-on-the-first-ride. My DH stood around discussing stats with the LBS while I rode. At the third bike shop:

    The LBS guy knew immediately I was happy--he pointed me towards a path off the parking lot. When I came back, I said, "I want this one!"

    DH: What about blah, blah, blah, blah?

    ME: "I WANT THIS ONE!"
