I feel awful for taking a similar handle as yours RubyLVR! I'll see if I can change mine, maybe to LoveMyRuby or something. Must figure out how to do that. Anyway, if you are interested in the saddle, feel free to PM. I also listed in the Sale/Want ads for $65 shipped.

Another NorCal Ruby lover here! I bought my 2013 Specialized Ruby Sport about a month ago. I rediscovered cycling this summer after moving from Portland, Maine, to Sacramento, California. Fantastic cycling country!

Funny another Maine transplant. I grew up in Hollis Center - south of Portland. Almost all the family is still there. I'm in Antioch. It's a very flat century to ride to Sacramento and back.
Although to be fair, Maine roads have improved so much since I was a kid. We really enjoy riding there when we go back to visit. And there's no chip seal!

I really loved Maine - what a gorgeous state. We lived there for about two years. I didn't do much biking in Portland (aside from taking my bike on the ferry and putting around Peaks Island). It helps that the cycling season is much longer here! Do you ride all year?
So far, I have been doing all of my riding on the American River Bike Trail. At some point I need to start tackling hills...

I am fully teasing you, and don't want you to change your name!! We can all share our love of this awesome bike.
RE the saddle, that's a bit pricey for me, especially since I bout a "Winter bike" that hubby is still a bit sore about.
Better not tell him I have my eye on a hybrid/touring bike!! SO ADDICTING!!

Congratulations on your new Ruby!
Another fellow Norcal rider here. 
I tested the Ruby during my bike hunt and loved it too - ended up getting a better deal for me at the time on a Synapse which I absolutely love. I've been debating whether or not to join the Velo Riders group...I'm not fully geared up with the clothing and clipless shoes though so I'd probably be kind of out of place. Have fun riding! We are truly lucky to live in an area with such great biking weather!
