Wonderful! The ASR-Sl was the first bike ever that I had the "the sky opened up, angels singing" effect. Totally love at first crank! It was so light and responsive, with all cranking power turned into forward power. Every other bike was compared to that one! I think you are going to love it, and it is going to be a monster climber. Unfortunately, for me the price was way out of the budget, so I had to settle... but I still sometimes dream! Did you get the black on black? Sexy!
