I'm curious as to why you're getting a new bike, too, if the Dolce is so comfy.
In any event, don't feel bad about buying a bike at one store and then servicing it at your favorite LBS. I'm sure they'll be happy for the business, especially since a lot of shops make their money in the service department anyway.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I am a huge Specialized fan, however if I were to get a new ride, I say try everything, especially the Orbea, they are sexy!

I've got a new Orbea on order. Rode the Orbea Dama with Ultegra, Sella Italia, the other day and really like it. It has compact double and the LBS guy put a cassette in the rear which is a little better for hills. I will go with this. I will have the Speed play Zeros taken off my present bike (which is steel and a bit too heavy) and put on the Orbea. Try it, you will like it.
