Went road bike shopping this weekend and fell in love with the Specialized Dolce. While I am not wild about the little bit of pink that is on this all-black bike, I will live with it. It's better than some of the alternatives in women's bikes. I want the Dolce and I tested a Dolce Elite, which the person helping me said would fit the same (just better components).<br><br>
I got measured and need a 54... they didn't have that one in stock, so we are going to shop around a little and make sure that is the one I want (I think if they'd had it, I'd have bought it). I am going to ride a plain Dolce just to be sure...<br><br>
And I just ordered SPD clipless pedals (cause I already have the shoes for spinning class) and the bike shop will put them on for me.<br><br>
Anyway, I am excited! I may not get it for a couple of weeks, but I am on the path to a new bike! And I have an experienced rider friend who is going to help me learn to clip in and out, corner, and all of that good stuff.<br><br>
My hybrid's gears are all screwed up right now (the derailleur is messed up and I have not had time or patience to try to fix it myself, and would probably break something else in the process anyway), so I have been off the road for a couple of weeks (been going to spinning, though!).<br><br>
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I am just excited!!!<br><br>
