My wife came home, took one look at it and thanked me for buying her a bike. Long story short it fit her fine and I was back to the shop.

He dug around in the back and found an unboxed 2018 Roll Elite (black with some sort of sparkles) for even less money, so I now have 2 Roll Elites in the garage. I only have about 40 miles on mine so far, she has 25. These bikes are so comfortable and easy to ride I never want to stop. Our greenway system here is relatively flat, paved and beautiful this time of year so I can't spend enough time out there pedaling, although around 10 miles my backside starts getting sore. I think my next purchase is bike pants.

Thanks for all the comments here, I guess its time to go tot the Specialized owners and geezer threads.
