Hey Susie,
I think you have probably guessed the outcome. The Dolce is a lovely bike so I am 99% sure I will end up with the Ruby. But for that kind of money I want to test all the toys I can. I know this is stupid but I am waiting for the 2012 b/c I don't like the color of the 2011 (Expert.) And the Orbea's are so SWEET looking. :-) I'll keep ya posted.
Funny, I absolutely love the red of the 2011 Expert. Not that it really matters, since I'm pretty sure they're out of stock by now.
