How tough is it?
I usually hang out in the roadie section but I'm thinking about getting a fg/ss and am looking for a bit of advice. I live in a pretty hilly area - mostly decent sized country rollers as opposed to prolonged inclines. My thought was to get a decent chromoly frame and put some nice light wheels and parts on it. It would be mostly a training bike as opposed to a commuter. How many of you tackle hills on your fg/ss bikes? Am I nuts to think this is a good idea?
