When I hear those naysayers tell me that I’m mean…I simply remind them that the gear ratio help with these…

Ya know, I just don’t know any different when it comes to the gear ratio. I never gave it a 2nd thought until guys started telling RL that it was mean of him to make me ride on this gear ratio. lol.

The build was at 27.5 lbs…not as light as I would like. But I know I can get this thing down to at least 24 easily. We’re working on a few more upgrades that should lighten things up.

Thanks for the info, RL! This bike looks sweet, and it should be a blast to ride. Any idea about the total build weight? Thanks in advance!

By design and by choice. Her old bike had the exact same set up. Once her drive train wore out, I could have gone with a cheaper cassette and done the 34t thing. But since she was used to riding the Dura Ace, I decided to keep her at the same level. She can handle it, she rarely uses her granny gear when she climbs…

I don’t think Priscilla even uses anything other than the big ring anyway.
