I just got back from a nice if brief-ish 1 hour ride on the '99 Riv gofast, newly equipped with pretty Phil front hub (I have decided not to replace the computer -- just yet, anyway, but I guesstimate that I covered, easily, 23 miles over rolling, mostly suburban terrain). Anyway, I deliberately went out of my way to climb some steepish, 1/2 mile long hills, mostly standing in the 75" gear, and blow me down, if I sped up those hills like ... like .... like ... Oh! Like Bartali, shifting into a *higher* gear at the bottom of a steep climb, turning with a sneer and glare at his competition, and leaving them in his dust. Sortof.
Anyway, the difference between this gofast that, now, without a computer, weighs a featherlite 17 3/4 lb, and the almost identical but built as a commuter '03, is about 5 lb, and I certainly can tell the difference on the hills.
