probably! lol! actually... before the dealer book came out.... and when i was talking to specialized on the phone... they (and the bike shop) were calling it a ruby roubaix... thus being a roubaix but the women's version!

i like that the pro version carries the color ruby (well... sort of! cuz if you've read you know i lusted for a flat black road bike... but i digress!)

i do think it's a tad bit odd that the other ruby's are in black and blue.... i think they should have still called them roubaix's... but called them ebony or onyx roubaix for the comp, sapphire roubaix for the expert and of course ruby roubaix for the ruby colored one!

(and yes... the color has grown on me and i love it more each time i see it! it's really gorgeous in the sun... it changes! i tried to show that in the pics... but alas... i'm not that good of a photographer to get the nuances!)
