It looked a lot higher than that. Maybe the frame is a little smaller than I thought. I was thinking you had tree-trunk legs and were running something stupid like 54:12. In its commuting setup my singlespeed is running 44:14. Our central city is completely flat so I find that gear works quite well. In off- road mode I run 32:18. This does make for tough climbing (especially on the second lap) but I like to be able to pedal around the singletrack at reasonable speeds. It may sound like an unnecessary compromise but there's just something about singlespeeding. Especially offroad on a clear night with a good set of lights :) :) > Well, I've never done any off-roading. When I see a bike like that, I > tell myself that I really should give it a try sometime.

I go more for the cross-country riding but I have been riding a lot harder since I got the Enduro. It gives a lot more confidence on tracks that used to scare me. Road riding does scare me due to the traffic but I have actually given some thought to buying a proper road bike so I can still do some decent riding when the tracks are too soggy. The trouble is, there are so many bikes on my wish-list right now it's hard to know which to get first... - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
