WTB: Specialized Jett, 143 or 155

[Owlie]

What it says in the title. Shot in the dark, as they seem popular, but I'll try.

PM me.

I have a used ruby 143 and my husbands used toupe 143 which is pretty much the same if you wanted to try one...they are just sitting.

Give me another couple of rides to be sure about the Turbomatic and you can probably have my 155 Jett. It's got 4500 some miles and a couple of scuffs on it but it's holding up well.

So far so good. Just over 100 miles on it so far. I kind of got a wonky knee on the first ride, which might or might not be related to a change in the fit - and a couple of other things have kept me off the bike a little. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, because it isn't 80% better for me than the Jett - I guess the bottom line is if I'd had to pay MSRP I'd never have tried it. But it is a bit better on me, so it's all good. Now I need a seatpost. Thanks Muirenn!


So Owlie - want the Jett? I had another nibble, if you don't want it.

I need to swing by the LBS to double check my measurements (pretty sure I'm right, but I'm a "measure twice, cut once"-type of person), as well as to double check Ruby vs. Jett in terms of padding. That'll probably be this afternoon or tomorrow. I'll get back to you then!
