good review! how tall are you? (i'm 5'2" and have a 51cm dolce)
your comment about the seat is another perfect example of how we all differ on seats! i've always been comfy on the dolce seat.. actually tried the terry butterfly a couple weeks ago and HATED it.. i put the dolce back on.. and i'm comfy again!
i posted in another thread that i've been plagued with shifting issues... i've been told it's a "specialized thing"... but that may just be the shop and having a bad experience with a few specialized (he claims they are a pain to work on and teases me wheneve i bring it it!)
