This Specialized Ruby Triple is a women’s road bike that features a lightweight FACT carbon frame with a FACT carbon fork and a Shimano 3x10 drivetrain. This bike is in really nice shape and wants to go fast, but is also comfortable on rough roads. The Zertz inserts in the seatstays and fork legs provide a compliant, yet efficient ride. This bike provides plenty of performance and can even be a great beginner race bike. Or just go climb some mountains and put on the miles and smiles. This bike can also pull daily commuter duty.
With a 53cm effective top tube and a 43cm seat tube (c-c), the official size is Women’s Large and this bike should fit most riders in the 5'6" to 5'9" range. This was designed as a women’s-specific model but it can be ridden by either gender.
