I road tested the Specialized Comp E5 and really liked the feel of it. The LBS only had it in Black, I definitely didn't want the Pink, I searched
local shops until I found one available in the Green color. I really wanted a high gloss not matted finish. Anyway I went ahead an bought
the Green matted finish and have grown to really love it. I liked the colors on the Trek Checkpoint better but once I rode a couple of versions,
I just knew that the Specialized was the right bike for me.
