Yeah, that's getting pretty close to a velomobile price range. The R-84 frame would shed some weight and add some stiffness (maybe), but I wouldn't think that would make a major difference in how it climbs. When it comes to climbing, I figure equipment can only do so much for you. Things are much more simple - it's that old power to weight ratio thing, again.
