Mommy got a new set of wheels!!!!

Postby a_beacher » Wed Mar 10, 2010 5:29 pm

I brought home my new toy today and just had to share it with you.
Now, I'm really itching to ride! I'm thinking about calling it "GUNNER" because it's white & burgundy. Any other suggestions?

2009 Ruby Expert Compact

Women's Performance Road
Ride like hell! The Ruby is purpose-built for women who demand a ride without compromise. Utilizing the latest in proprietary Specialized FACT carbon composite technology, female cyclists now have every advantage in equipment that had historically been available to the other half of the population. Whether it's the local race circuit or long rides with fast friends, the Ruby is the perfect riding partner

Features
· The Pro SL FACT carbon seatpost is light and strong, with an integrated Zertz insert to absorb energy-robbing vibrations.
· The Ruby Expert’s FACT 8r carbon frame features our Designs for Women geometry and uses our seamless Az1 construction for maximum strength and performance; Zertz inserts absorb energy-robbing vibrations.
· The Body Geometry Ruby Women’s saddle features a slim, lightweight design that’s 100% race-ready, yet still comfortable and durable.
· The 3D-forged Pro-Set stem has an oversized bar-clamp area, and meshes seamlessly with the alloy Women’s handlebar for ultra-precise steering.
· The Specialized FACT carbon monocoque fork features Zertz inserts to soak up vibrations.
