I agree with all the advice you've been given and I'm pretty sure you'll like the 44. I'm 5'1" and that's what I ride. Every person and brand is different, but I tested other bikes (48, 47) and they were too big.
You might even call the store, ask for sp #2 to find out the delivery date- then you can ask him to call you when it comes in. And have you thought about letting the owner / manager know how much you appreciated his attention to detail, service etc?
Good luck and I hope you love your Ruby like I love mine

I totally get what you are feeling. I've worked in sales so I am pretty sensitive to the subject as well. However, if you like SP2 better than 1 (and from what you've written, I think we all like SP2 better) then you need to stick with that person. Your comfort and fit on a bike should not come second to sales/commission etiquette.
I only work with the employees I like and trust. I'd be asking for SP2 to finish up what was started with the 44 Ruby.____________________________________

+1. I'm glad you found someone that is taking the time to get bikes in for you to try and you seem to have a good feeling about.

If this shop is good enough to have two people you would consider buying from...it sounds like you've made a good choice.

Just an update: Both Salespeople are calling and emailing me. SP2 told me he found a 44 Dolce which I can test out this week. SP1 wants to know what components I'd be most interested in for the Ruby. Both said they would call me when the bike comes in. I know they spoke to each other but not sure if they clarified who is taking the lead.
I told SP1 that I think SP2 placed the order already. I also asked SP2 for his schedule so I can stop be when he's in. Hopefully they will connect as it's getting confusing. Or, they can be working together which would be nice too. Either way, I plan to write a letter to the owner to let him know how great both employees are.
