Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

i fully understand a single front ring on a commuter and mountain bike but on this? it looks like it was built for climbing only.

what rear derailleur is that?

This bike was just posted in the Scott thread and it was built for climbing. What kind of wheels are those?

i would accept the minimal weight gain of a large ring so i could ride back down.

It'd be pretty easy to drop on a 50t/front der/shifter and not add much weight...but I don't use the bike for anything but rolling up/down Diablo and intervals by my place (Potrero) so for now I'll leave it be and just enjoy the lack of a front shift.

I thought that was the case but didn't recall them having an exposed lower pivot. Silly price but very cool part.


Is that a kcnc cassette?
