Which is fine. For some terrains, for some riders, a compact double is
just the thing. But rid
Exactly. My XO-3 is 42-32, with a 13-21 freewheel. It works great on steep
hills because...I don't ride it on them. I have an AHH triple for that.

Weight matters. It just matters less than some people think. I did a 200k
permanent with my cousin on the 27th. He was on a 17lb bike, and I was on
my Hilsen which is a svelte 24lbs with no handlebar bag but with a
handlebar bag and two full bottles, it's got to be 35 lbs. I had to think

Yes, Anne - it is ridiculous that this 70 year old does not have a triple. And I had to bite my tongue NOT to tell her to go get her bike outfitted with a triple. It wasn't really the time/place for that - in the dark, looking at Christmas decorations, holiday spirit among the group. That's one
Maybe it's just me, and I mean no offense, but all this talk of older women
climbing hills on over-geared bikes gives me the willies. I'd think the

Recent interaction to add to the rant: I joined a local club group for a 'Christmas lights' ride a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday evening. The route involved part of hilly Arlington County (but not the truly devilish hilly sections of the county). A friend of mine invited me, he wanted me to me
