I couldnt get my hands on the Roubaix :-(.

Im still on the market for a bike but Im wondering what gearing should i go with. Like I said i live in an area where there is 20% grade hills. I dont know if I will need the 11-32.

Right now , Im looking at the 2014 Cannondale Supersix Evo 3 Ultegra. Dealers are offering deals on pre-order. The bike come with a 50-34 and 11-25 but I believe you can put 11-32 on the new Ultegra 6800.

Im also looking for a 2013 Felt F3 which is several hundreds cheaper but looks absolutely great in person. But the gearing is even worse for climbing (52-36 / 11-25). And I think you cant go higher than 11-28 and that version of Ultegra.

If I was on flat road, I would probably already have bought the felt.

But on the other hand the Cannondale is coming with the new 11 speed Ultegra. And the 11-32 possibility. I can buy it and call it a day for several years.

Any insight ?
