Love a good necro. So I was one of the original posters to this thread stating that we had just bought my (now ex) wife the Ruby version. I can report that she loved the bike and it's still going strong. I put Conti GP 4 Seasons on it in 28mm to replace the stock rubber. They run a bit small so it's more like a 25mm from most companies. GP4k would be great too...but go for the 25mm in those.
