Hey Moogal, isn't it great fun window shopping for bikes? Its ALMOST as much fun as actually taking it out of the shop and riding it for the first time...

I see you are looking for a fully carbon frame? I know its very "in vogue" at the moment and I too lust after a Carbon frame one day, but in this season's bike reviews in Cycling plus (which my Mum has sent to New Zealand for me from the UK) they rated the Lemond Reno as their women's race bike of the year. Its reviews say its a very comfortable and responsive ride and the C+ guys said " Specialised put more thought into women and Lemond put more thought into racing" so the Lemond is faster and the Dolce more comfortable.

They do have a full range with prices to match - it might be worth a look? Just to add to the confusion and make the decision even harder?!

Happy shopping, and do let us know what you get in the end.
