The big ring off a compact double and inner off a triple. It shifts well, it doesn't need to be great as long as it gets the small ring without failure and goes back up to the big ring when I finish climbing.

Today after 2 weeks of not riding I went for a quick 20 mile ride. The hills were KILLING me. Halfway through I felt like I was about to puke. Took a break played angry birds for a bit then finished the rest of the ride.

Bikes: big block

get a big block mang, seriously my favorite bike i've ever owned. It'll fit big(ish) tires and the geometry is what I would call perfect for a track frame.
