The one hesitation is that the Cannondale is a double and not a
triple. I'll likely be moving back to San Francisco afterwards, but I
know lots of people use doubles on small hills.
This would be a dealbreaker for me. Doubles, IMO, are silly except
for hardcore racing. OTOH, having that granny on the occasion when
you need it...oh so nice.
Heheh...it just occurred to me: The same people that advocate
doubles also insist that we must always pedal 90 rpm (and with a
13-23 cluster). Either they never climb hills, or they're very, very
strong and fast.
