Why would they do this? The Dolce geometry has changed.

I'm 5'0", wear a long bathing suit, and have a short inseam. None of the local shops sell Specialized anymore. The man who sold me the Dolce a couple of years ago had all good things to say about it. Now he has nothing nice to say about it (I understand there's been some problems between Specialized and smaller shops?) and speaks highly of Felt. The petite Felt was also a comfortable fit.

I'll be on the road next week and will be near the Specialized dealer with the older models still in stock. I guess I'll just have to drop by.

I was imagining it with blue bar tape. Unfortunately, the white is no longer available. The 2015 is mint green.

I'm glad you mentioned the looks. I've been trying to get beyond that. But I can't help it. I want a good-looking bike.

Wow. That's quite the change. Old geometry, I'd probably ride a 51 or 54. New geometry, the 54 would be almost too long (ideal reach on a road bike for me is 370mm or just under), and I could ride either the 48 or a 51. I'm 5'7". I should not be riding a 48cm bike. Also, the reach is identical on the 48 and 51, which makes no sense.
