compact double v triple? (my new bike!)

[Veronica]

Thanks for the gearing specs, now I know what to ask for on Saturday!

I don't know if you'll be able to get something that small with STI. I use friction shifters.


I have bad knees and am not a little person. With just under 21% body fat I weigh 152. But with that gearing, I have yet to meet a climb I can't do while seated. To be able to finish a double century I need to keep my HR down, which for me, means not standing on a long climb. I actually tend to stand on the flats for the butt break and the stretch.

Have fun shopping!
