Hmmmm...learning to spin has been my #1 priority...it's so hard to learn. I don't know why, but I seem to be able to spin so much better on the new Fuji than the Redline (cross bike). I was out at the track running around and came up next to this guy-I didn't have my monitor working yet, so didn't know my cadence. I asked and he said he was doing 86 I think...vast improvement for me from 60 or so. I guess the weight of the bike or maybe the angles make the difference in ability to spin? Plus, it seems I do so many hills...how the #@$#$# are you supposed to spin up a hill?? LOL
