    Chris and Tim will have to wrestle one of those bikes away from you.

    Since Macarthur's been redesigned and narrowed (grrrrrr) I'd ride outa the shop 1 block, take a left on Estudillo and head right uphill!! Have fun.

    Does he have a Mondonico in your size ;-) I'd be interested in how you thought that compares with a 7.

    The test bikes have standard triples and 11-27 cassettes. My only concern on the gearing is being able to get far enough up the hill on the test bikes to get a little descending experience too.

    Jenxxs - thanks for the info - yes, I would be getting a full custom Seven, if we get that far, and if I feel I can justify the expense (my friend Scott, who's been after me for a year to get a Seven, said "just think about the miles you'll earn!")

    Trek420 - Chris has a route for me to ride, and it does include that hill up Estudillo. I'll also see what else he has in the shop for me to try that is more or less my size, for comparison, if he has the time to do all that pedal changing and tweaking.
    Keep calm and carry on...
