But different things add up. I mainly cruise my touring bike around everywhere now. But on a local 3.7 mile climb that's a good benchmark where traffic is not a concern, when I dust off thy old ower end scott road bike my time will be 6-10 minutes faster than on the touring bike. Some combo of position, weight, and pedals.... But the touring bike is so comfortable and fun to descend on I ride it more.
