Thanks everyone for the info. I don't think I used my gear chart correctly. My DH is more versed in this sort of thing, so I'm going to review my findings with him. This will be very important. I wondered how I'll ride hills on my test ride next week, but there are no hills in the area. There is, however, a four story parking garage a couple of blocks away. I will ride my current bike up the parking garage to gauge what gears I will use, then when I test ride I can try to ride up the parking garage. My [I]only concern[U] is that, since I haven't ridden a drop bar bike in 27 years or even know how to shift the gears, going up a parking garage may not be the best idea. (it is a very quiet, calm parking garage).
