Is it better to have a large front gear with a bigger rear than to have the same ratio but with smaller gears? E.g. 53/13 = 4.08/1 or 44/11 = 4/1
Should I.... buy this and change the funky handlebars to some mtb flat bars and swap the seat for something useful and maybe get a smaller rear gear. It is an old Schwinn frame that has been powdercoated.
