Thanks for sharing thoughts on this bike and others.

A couple things- NY biker- I did not notice the bars being tilted. Either the photo angle is odd or I am comfortable with the set up.

Nandy, I couldn't access the link you posted. This bike feels comfortable- and so did my previous Ruby and I've done rides up to 210k. I also have small feet and longer legs and a really short torso. Maybe there is a custom bike out there that would be even better, but the 2011 Ruby was all I could afford and the insurance covered the replacement.

I took her out for 48 miles Saturday with lots of climbing, and 40 miles today (mostly flat) and I'm still happy. I might even learn to like the Ruby saddle but not I'm not completely sold yet - I had an Oura before.
