    Certain Fuji models (Gran Fondo and the Supreme) do that weird humped top tube thing. But my personal preference is Specialized.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I like Specialized. I ride a dolce elite and i love it. I originally wanted a ruby, but the fit was all wrong for me.

    Well, I went in at lunch and rode and then rode again after work. I am going with the Specialized Dolce. I already have 2 Treks and 1 Specialized so now they are equal I like the curve on the top bar, it's one of the things that attracted me. I like the lines. I didn't have time to ride tonight, and won't until Sunday since i have a conference to attend in Tucson, but it's here and I can look at it and ride in the driveway until tomorrow (4 miles of gravel if I leave my driveway so no jumping out there) This one just felt right and looking at it makes me smile.

    Congrats on the new addition to your collection! It's great that you found one that feels right to you and that it makes you happy just by looking at it. That just means it'll be that much better when you're out riding it. I feel the same way with my bike

    Congrats in your decision! I rode a Dolce Elite for almost a year, and just recently moved on, but I loved my Dolce! I love the lines on the specialized bikes too, and I really appreciate how much effort they put into their women's specific products and into women's racing. Anyway, congrats again!

    Thanks all. It's like I left my kid or something. It's killing me that I am at a conference and I have a new unridden bike at home.

    Update.... I kept thinking about the Trek Lexa that I test rode a few times and loved along with the Dolce. I just couldn't stop thinking about both of them. So, yes, you guessed it. I came home from the conference and went to the LBS and bought the Lexa also. Now, I just need to decide which one to leave at the house that is 2.5 hours away. I am thinking the Dolce since the MTB there is the Myka. OOO Happy dance.
