my shop ordered my ruby pro for me (well... put one on order.. they weren't even out yet at that time)... i put down a deposit.. and had the option/right to get back my FULL deposit if i didn't like it... it didn't fit... or just didn't want it....
if they order it... are you obligated to take it?

Specialized Ruby
Well, I checked w/the LBS today ... the guy I spoke with is going to check w/their buyer to see if they can get one for me to try out. I will probably have to put down some sort of deposit, but that's fine as long as I get the chance to ride it before making the final decision.

which ruby are you looking at/planning on trying? the comp? expert? or pro?
(i wish they had named them differently.. people call all three just the "ruby" whereas there's big differences between the 3! i think they should have named them: onyx, sapphire and ruby (black, blue, ruby colored
)

I will probably go w/the Expert. I want to make sure whatever I get will keep me happy for a long time! My current bike is a base model Allez & while I still like it a lot, I can definitely see that a higher end bike will be way more comfortable (& hopefully faster!).
After the LBS talked w/Specialized today, they told me that they didn't any in my size.

Oops-hate it when the laptop locks up!
Anyway, Specialized won't have a bike available to ship until sometime next week, so my BF made some phone calls today & found a shop about 30 minutes away that has a Comp in stock that I can test. It will give me an idea on the fit & also the differences between it & my current bike. So, we're planning to drive out that way this weekend & test it out!
(BF is planning to get a new bike as well - a Roubaix.)

Just as proof of how obsessed we all are in general, I was reading the newspaper today and saw this headline: "Ruby sold to charity benefits all". I thought, "Why on earth would someone sell her Ruby to a charity? Especially since it must be a pretty new bike?"
(It was referring to a donated ruby necklace).
