Hi Thor

Thanks for the reply.

I made a mistake with the MU models - I meant the sporty SL, and not the XL (cool bike though).

Both the MU SL and the Speed Pro share the same components, except of course for the frame and most notably the shifter/derailleur/cassette/rear hub. So, given the same price of the bikes, the "gear package" is definitely better on the Speed Pro and if I'd like to take the MU SL to the same level (Sram DualDrive etc.) I'd have to invest another couple of bucks.

For that reason, my thougths at the moment basically are

- is the weight advantage of the MU SL going to make up for the gearing handicap?
- how is the difference in "ride quality" between the alloy/steel frame of the SL/Pro?

If you or anybody else have ridden the two bikes side by side pls let me know your opinion as I won't be able to test drive both bikes here in my area.

Best
Al
