Well with that you'd better climb away from Q as if he's standing still.

I'm too fat to pull away from anyone.

Excellent choice tkh. From the ground up that is a great bike.

I wonder if you are going to want a rear cassette with an 11 on it in the future. With a triple a 12 is usually fine. With a compact, some guys that like speed opt out for an 11. Either way, enjoy.

Thanks guys!

BG, I've wondered that too, but I figure it's going to take me a while to figure that out. This bike is such a huge upgrade over the mountain bike I've been riding, I might actually wear the cassette out before I realize that I want to go even faster.

You give me a lot of crap. But honestly, you're my hero. Still doing what you do. And at your age and all...
