I just rode the 2014 model yesterday and and am considering it against the Specialized Ruby Comp 2. Can you advise reason for sale? Where are you located and would you ship to NW WA state?

This is a great bike, handles nice, smooth ride...but you probably know this if you just rode the 2014 model. I have always had problems buying bikes off the floor as I have very long femurs and a short torso. I can't quite get the fit I want without bringing the front end up a little more and there is no more room for spacers. I've decide to splurge and look into a custom fit, but I need to sell this one first for a down payment I'm in Southern California but can take the bike to my LBS and have them pack it and ship it for about $100. Being carbon, I would want the experts do the packing. It really is in pristine condition. Like new.

I don't see my response I thought I posted last night...so will try again. The only reason I'm selling this bike is because of fit. I've always had trouble buying bikes right off the shelf due to my very long femurs and short torso. And I'm in between sizes. Now that I'm getting more serious about cycling and a little older, not quite so flexible, fit and comfort are my primary goals. Mediums are too long in the cockpit for reach but I can get the handlebar height right. Smalls tend to be just right for the reach but then I have to build the front end up quite a bit. I needed to go a little higher on the front end with this bike but ran out of room for more spacers. Tried several different stems also. Long story short, I've decided to splurge and go with a custom bike. Problem is, I need to sell this bike first for the down payment It's a great bike, smooth ride, great handling...you probably already know this if you rode the 2014 model. This bike really is in pristine condition. Like new. I live in Southern California. I'm happy to take it to my LBS and have them pack it and ship it for about $100. Being carbon, I want the experts to do the packing. Feel free to email me jane.lemonds@gmail.com

Reduced price to $2100.00. Local Road Bike Shop says it's a steal, said it's good as new...but better since the price is so low.

Have you tried Craigslist? My friends and I have had really good success with that website for buying/selling
