This is a 2008-10 Ruby in excellent, near-new condition, built for women who want performance and enduring comfort. The Ruby was part of Specialized’s push into more women-specific geometry—before “women’s bikes” just meant “men’s bike minus a few cm.” When it first launched, Ruby was seen as a breakthrough: it combined the road handling and responsiveness of Specialized’s race frames with a softer, comfort-tuned ride tailored for a smaller rider. In fact, the Ruby name started surfacing in 2007 as one of the first serious carbon bikes built from the ground up with women in mind.
this frame is built up with full Shimano Ultegra 3x10 speed, FSA SL-K 50/39/30t ctriple chainring rank, 11–28t cassette), fresh bar tape, brand new Juliana saddle, and Shimano Ultegra 700c clincher wheels, that spin true with plenty of life in the tires.
Size 48cm — best fit for riders around 5’0” to 5’4”” depending on proportions. Everything’s tuned up and the bike is ready to roll.
I collect and restore vintage bikes, and I enjoy bringing gently used more recent models back to like-new condition. It’s always rewarding to see them back on the road, helping people stay active and reduce car use. I also offer repairs and tune-ups for the bikes I sell - please check out my Instagram - sfbikemarket.
