It's that last part I wonder about. How much easier, exactly? I am not the best of climbers... mediocre would be complimentary. I AM getting better but I have so little gas in the tank when it comes to hills. I mean, I don't expect the LeMond to be a cure for asthma but how much improvement should I expect to see, out of the gate?
