It is to some degree. I am riding all in town miles right now at 79gi. That is a lot of accelerating and decelerating. When i start commuting to school I will probably get a smaller cog, likely a 14t.

You sir have scrawny legs then. I have been riding 47x16 (79.3gi) for almost a year now, and in 10 days I will be starting school again. I will be biking there 25 miles each way 5 days a week. I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait to get even stronger and healthier. Just signed up for a gym so I can lift weights and swim. Taking boxing. Starting to switch my diet over to more organic raw foods. Going to be a good semester.
Damn!

I ride 48x16 on 23c tires, and it comes out to 78.8GI, not 81. Either way, it's not a hard gear to push.

Not to venture off topic though. Bullhorns are nice bars, but I don't think you need to spend tons of money on nittos or anything like that. Just pick up some eight inch bars off ebay for $25
