Oof. My first 10-speed had literally 10 speeds, 5 cogs in the back and a 52-39 double up front. I rode it all over town, including some insanely steep hills that RWGPS says are 6% and 9% -- I think they've flattened out since I was in high school. But with a nice triple setup, I can tackle steeper stuff at three times the age I was back then!
