I hate to be the one to ask this, but what price range are you looking to stay within? Check around, you might be able to score a left over specialized Ruby for a few bucks more! If not, there is nothing wrong with the Dolce at all. As Wogsterca mentioned, fit is everything. A good fit is always worth it. Spend the money up front for a pro-fitting if you have to. It's much cheaper than throwing money at different components later on trying to solve a fit problem.
Dang it...you got me looking at new bikes
