I can surprise many dedicated roadies on the bike routes around town.
Lots of good gearing there. I only have a 39 on the crank and 11-34 cassette. Still plenty of speed for me. It does about 25mph tops and more going downhill of course. BTW AusTexMurf, I really love that Surly Troll rigid fork you recommend to me. Does my ride alot of justice.
