what is more important for climbing?

Hello all!

I went to other bike shop - I tried this weekend Trek 4300 WSD - I liked it... Surprisingly it was not so light (if I compare it with K2 Ridgeline). Still, very nice. Will check a store with Specialized ones this week or weekend. Then will decide...

And funny thing - they do have a lifetime basic tune-ups; and REI has only first and second tune-ups (after 100-200 miles) free.

I have the Trek 4300 and LOVE it! And I'm fortunate enough to have a great LBS that takes great care of me. They love to answer any questions, no matter how novice.
