Thank you all for your advice.
I am so excite to finally have made a decision..after spending almost 2 hours in the bike shop trying both bikes, I ended up buying.....(drum roll please)....The 2006 Specialized Dolce Elite!!

I really wanted to like the Trek, but the Dolce was just way more comfortable. I tried for over an hour to make myself like the Trek 1500 WSD and I did, but I loved the way the Dolce felt.

I'm so excited!!!!
