That's affirmative.

I did a test ride this afternoon, which included the li'l 20% grade hill here in the 'hood. I made it up just fine with the compact, though of course I was standing in my lowest gear. It is surprisingly nimble.

I just can't get over how much I love those Salsa bars. I have a feeling that if I'd had those on my old bike, some of my troubles would have been alleviated.
