Really don't seem that way Matt, she's fast to accelerate and fairly easy on the legs, even somewhere like Swinley with its couple of short climbs. |

Swinley has small hills as compared to Surrey. I have strong legs and after a few hours peddling around Surrey it was getting tiring going up... I'll see what its like in difference and can always change back again to the 36, going leave getting a 42 extender of the rear for the moment. |

And a bit of a bargain with a £100 off as they are powder coated rather than sprayed.... finish looks pretty good to me

Somebody will come along and tell us spraying is better than powder coating or the other way around... For now, it looks good
