Me too. But get a 15, and see if that feels any better to you. Gearing is very personal, but many folks have found that 70 gear inches is a good place to start. FWIW, I like 42x16 for my commuting/rainbike set up. In the summer, when I'm more likely to be able to get out in the country for some long rides, I'll go to 75 or 80 gear inches.
