I really appreciate all the comments.
Thanks for the help.
Still road testing bikes, tried the Madone 3.2 50cm, nice fit. Feels like the Ruby to me.
I want to try the Amira one more time. The more aggressive frame felt odd but I am game to give it one more chance since some of the experienced riders have gone from Ruby to Amira,...well 3 that I know of. Does that frame geometry make it easier on the hills? The Ruby and Amira are the same weight given the same components and the fit feels the same except for the lightness or road feel of the front. I don't feel stable enough on the Amira to grab a water bottle but that may come in time.
I rode a hybrid that could ride in a straight line with no hands...ok, not that I did that often.
Will try the Giant and Felt tomorrow.
Hopefully will have a decision this weekend.
Mahalo!
